The Scottish Government has committed to introducing a new Scottish Climate Change Bill. Recognising progress to reduce emissions in Scotland, and the ambition set out in the 2015 Paris Agreement, the Bill will include an ambitious new target of reducing Scottish emissions by more than 50% on a gross basis compared to 1990 levels by 2020. The Scottish Government has published a draft Climate Change Plan and a draft Energy Strategy, which together set out Scotland’s low-carbon infrastructure priorities.
In March 2017, the Committee on Climate Change (CCC) provided advice to the Scottish Government on how the new Bill may look. The CCC sought evidence to help with that task. Read the responses we received:
