Scotland is set to abandon its interim target on the road to 2045 net-zero emissions, a goal to reduce emissions by 75%.
Scotland is expected to abandon a key interim target on its road to 2045 net zero as the government is expected to scrap a goal for reducing emissions by 75% by 2030, BBC Scotland News reports. The Scottish government is expected to announce changes to its climate change plan later on Thursday, but it will keep the net-zero target for 2045, according to the BBC.
” The committee no longer believes that the Scottish Government will meet its statutory 2030 goal to reduce emissions by 75%, it said in March, citing continued delays to the updated climate change plan and further slippage in promised climate policies. Scotland has been reducing emissions, but not fast enough to meet its goals, the committee noted.
