Royal assent for Scottish climate change bill
New legislation drawn up by the Scottish government in a bid to tackle climate change, which includes a new framework of annual carbon emissions targets, has been granted royal assent.
The Climate Change Scotland Bill will now become an Act of Parliament and contains a long-term strategy for reducing the country's greenhouse gas emissions by as much as 80 per cent by 2050. Scottish climate change minister, Stewart Stephenson, said: "The Scottish government recognises that climate change will have far reaching effects on Scotland's economy, its people and its environment and is determined to play its part in rising to this challenge.
"The world-leading legislation introduces targets to reduce emissions by at least 80 per cent by 2050, and will drive new thinking, new solutions and new technologies putting Scotland at the forefront of building a sustainable low carbon economy."
