The Scottish Climate Change Bill is a fantastic opportunity for Scotland to become a world leader in tackling climate change, and Stop Climate Chaos Scotland greets it with enthusiasm. We are very pleased to see the Scottish Government acknowledge the 2 degree Celsius global warming danger threshold.
However, in order for the Bill to be as strong as possible we need your support. We want to see a commitment to annual emissions reduction targets of 3%, as well as the inclusion of aviation and shipping in all targets.
