THE Scottish government’s response to climate change “could still do better,” environmental campaigners said today.
A report from the Climate Emergency Response Group (CERG) said that there had been positive progress, with action on most of CERG’s proposals, since First Minister Nicola Sturgeon announced a climate emergency in spring 2019.
The report noted that while it was fair to expect some delay due to the Covid-19 pandemic, there have been a number of new opportunities to accelerate action as part of a “green recovery” that have been missed.
The CERG made 20 proposals for action, the reactions receiving traffic-light rating, with just a third scoring green, 57 per cent amber and 10 per cent red.
WWF Scotland’s Fabrice Leveque said: “A year out from crucial UN climate talks, the forthcoming Climate Change Plan is an opportunity for Scotland to show global leadership by producing a clear strategy.”
