SNP WELCOME BACKING FOR CLIMATE CHANGE ACTION
The Scottish Parliament has today backed world leading climate change legislation from the SNP Government, putting Scotland at the forefront of global efforts to tackle international climate change.
Commenting on the passage of the bill SNP MSP and member of the Climate Change Committee Shirley-Anne Somerville said;
“Scotland’s climate change legislation is world leading and it is now up to all of us to live up to our ambition and take real steps to combat climate change.
“This bill is just the start of the process of meeting our commitment to lead the world in tackling climate change.
“Crucially this bill not only sets significant targets but includes the means to get there with actions to improve energy efficiency at home with council tax discounts as incentives and in all public buildings as well as measures to inform the public of the climate change challenge ahead of us.
“It is now for us in Scotland to live up to this challenge, and for those meeting at Copenhagen in December to follow Scotland’s lead and to take bold action with ambitious targets.”
