Scotland's climate goals could be missed unless councils get more government support, a report warns.
The committee said the Scottish government should provide councils with extra financial support in future budgets, as well as helping them access specialist knowledge.Convener Edward Mountain said: "Over the course of almost a year of evidence-taking, it's clear that unless key barriers facing local government are dealt with, we will not reach net zero by 2045.
"But Cosla has been open that local authorities can't do that effectively without the increased support of Scottish government."
