The UK's Climate Change Committee (CCC) has issued a stern warning to Scotland, urging immediate action to reduce emissions after the Scottish government scrapped several key climate policy commitments. Initially aimed at a 75% reduction in emissions by 2030, the Scottish government's goals will now face a delay of up to six years due to missed targets. Key cutbacks in ambitious plans include reducing car miles, decarbonizing homes, and tree planting. The CCC's revised strategy insists on more flexible carbon budgets and emphasizes drastic emission cuts, aiming for a comprehensive approach to reach net-zero by 2045.
The Climate Change Committee has warned Scotland must dramatically reduce emissions, especially from transportation and buildings, to meet its vital net-zero target by 2045.
With Scotland's climate targets being postponed by six years, the CCC has emphasized the urgency of addressing missed annual objectives and the consequences of inaction.
