Today’s\u00a0annual report<\/a> to the Scottish Parliament made by the independent Committee on Climate Change has shown “Scotland\u2019s progress in reducing emissions from the power sector masks a lack of action in other areas, particularly transport, agriculture, forestry and land use.” The Committee notes that emissions from the transport sector have increased in every year from 2010, with a further 2% increase in 2016 in Scotland.<\/p>\n

Matt McDonald, spokesperson for Transform Scotland said:\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“The Scottish Government’s Climate Change Plan failed to set out sufficient action in the areas of walking, cycling, and bus use. So it’s unsurprising that it continues to go backwards in carbon emission reduction.\u00a0<\/em>The Government needs to focus its capital expenditure plans on sustainable transport rather than the carbon intensive subsidies for road use and aviation that form its current spending priorities.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Lord Deben, chair of the Committee refers to transport and other areas when concluding that \u201cWithout real action in these areas, Scotland may fall short of its long-term goals.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
