Climate change report demands tougher emissions reduction target
CITY climate change campaigners have welcomed a new report calling for tougher targets for reducing carbon emissions.
Stop Climate Chaos Scotland backed the report from the Scottish Parliament's transport, infrastructure and climate change committee on the Scottish Climate Change Bill. The report recommends that the Bill needs tougher targets and broader scope.
The Scottish Government will now have to respond to the committee's report in a debate expected next week.
Mike Robinson, chair of Stop Climate Chaos Scotland, said: "We are particularly pleased to see recommendations for bringing forward the interim target on emissions reductions and to take stronger action in the early years."
Dr Richard Dixon of WWF Scotland added: "The committee's tough stance on including the full impacts of aviation from the start is a strong message that the Government must respond to."
