The Scottish Government has scrapped its flagship target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 75% of 1990 levels by 2030. Màiri McAllan, secretary for wellbeing economy, net zero and energy, confirmed that the Holyrood government remains “steadfastly” committed to its target for Scotland to be net zero by 2045, five years ahead of the UK as a whole. However, in a statement responding to a progress report by the Climate Change Committee (CCC), the minister said the Scottish Government accepted its verdict that the 2030 target is “out of reach”.
