Scotland’s pledge to cut emissions by 75% by 2030 ‘no longer credible’

Climate Change Committee finds Scottish government has repeatedly failed to make cuts required by law

Scotland’s pledge to cut its climate emissions by 75% by 2030 is “no longer credible” and cannot be met, the UK’s climate watchdog has said.

In a damning report submitted to the Scottish parliament, the UK Climate Change Committee (CCC) accused the Scottish government of repeatedly failing to live up to its legally binding targets.
