Bringing forward a Scottish Climate Change Bill is a key commitment for the Scottish Government. Scotland can play a leading role internationally in taking action on climate change. The Bill will create a long-term framework for the current and successive administrations in Scotland to ensure that we reduce our emissions by 80% by 2050. This framework will help build a sustainable future for Scotland: it will contribute to the country's sustainable economic growth by moving the public and private sectors towards a low carbon economy.
