Scotland's Climate Change Plan - WWF Scotland comment

Responding to the publication today (Tues 24 March) of Scotland’s Climate Change Plan (2026 -2040) [1], Lang Banks, director of WWF Scotland said:

“It’s extremely disappointing not to see stronger action to cut climate emissions in key areas such as heat in buildings and agriculture.

“We are already far behind where we need to be in tackling our changing climate and protecting people and nature from its devastating consequences.

“With an election just around the corner, we need all political parties to set out clear commitments on how they will step up action to deliver a fair and just transition for workers, communities and consumers.”
