GREEN campaigners have accused the Scottish Government of “flawed thinking” and “unjustified optimism” over their plan to cut emissions.
Friends of the Earth Scotland said there is a “real risk” Scotland’s climate strategy will not deliver the reduction in emissions needed to achieve net zero by 2045.
The updated climate change plan, published in December, sets out what the Scottish Government insists are “bold actions” aimed at helping meet emissions reduction targets in the period to 2032. The document stresses it “will not be easy” and will require a “truly national endeavour with business, communities and individuals contributing fully” if targets are to be met.
