Lorna Slater said she did not accept there was a problem with the Scottish Government's target to cut carbon emissions by 75% by 2030co-leader Lorna Slater has said she “does not accept” the Scottish Government’s climate target was not achievable as she criticised ministers for not being “courageous” enough to try and reach it.
“As the Climate Change Committee have said to us, although decarbonisation of energy has gone well in Scotland because we have so much wind energy, agriculture, transportation, industry and homes and buildings have not. There’s essentially been no progress. She believes while the Greens were in government they were having an impact on green policies, pointing to her fellow co-leader’s Heat in Buildings Bill which would introduce new laws around heating systems that can be used in homes and places of work.“Although they were challenging when they were set, there could have been a lot more done to try and get closer” Slater added.
McAllan told MSPs earlier this year that legally-binding plans to cut emissions by 75% by 2030 would be scrapped and replaced with a new bill.
