Land, Environment and Biodiversity
The Climate Change (Emissions Reduction Targets) (Scotland) Act 2019 sets targets to reduce Scotland’s emissions of all greenhouse gasses to net zero by 2045. In the December 2020 update to the ‘Climate Change Plan’[12] the Scottish Government set out the pathway to delivering these targets and how its ambition for a just transition to net zero can support a green recovery from COVID-19. The update explains how Scotland’s land can help deliver the emissions reduction targets whilst supporting the green recovery, for example by supporting an increase in the number of green jobs.
