The Scottish Government has set out its planned contribution to global efforts to tackle climate change, as the 100-day countdown to the Cop26 summit begins.
The UN conference in Glasgow later this year will be the most significant since the Paris climate agreement, which had a long-term goal of limiting global warming to 1.5C.
The 2015 accord required countries to create “nationally determined contributions” (NDCs) – containing details of their climate change action plans.
While Scotland was not a formal party to the Paris Agreement, ministers in Edinburgh have nevertheless put forward an indicative NDC to demonstrate their climate commitments.
They have highlighted their 2030 target to reduce emissions of all major greenhouse gases by at least 75%, along with a commitment to a “just transition” away from fossil fuels.

Scottish Conservative leader Douglas Ross was tipped to be our next First Minister in The Herald this week by UK International Trade Secretary Liz Truss YOU report that Liz Truss, the UK International Trade Secretary, suggests that “Douglas Ross will be the next First Minister of Scotland”, he being “fantastic” ( Scotland will reap huge benefits from trade deals, Liz Truss insists , The Herald, July 22). I submit that he is “a great guy”, another of her terms, only according to the debased standards of post-Brexit Johnsonian Conservatism. In order to justify my assertion I suggest that your readers turn their minds back to the letter from John Dennis published on July 15 in which he pointed out that “all Scotland’s six Conservative MPs … voted to endorse the massive cuts of £4 billion in overseas aid”.
