Scottish Government strengthens Climate Change Bill

Scottish climate change minister Stewart Stevenson said on Tuesday 5 May that targets in the Scottish Climate Change Bill to reduce greenhouse gases would now include a new interim target to cut emissions by 34% by 2020. But ministers intend to introduce an amendment to the Bill to ensure this rises to at least 42% as soon as the EU agrees to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 30% by 2020.
