 The Scottish
Government's world-leading legislation to tackle climate
change has been passed by
MSPs in the Parliament.
The Bill sets a target of reducing emissions by 80 per
cent by 2050, including emissions from international aviation and shipping. It
also sets an interim target for a 42 per cent cut in emissions by 2020, an
eleventh hour amendment by the Climate Change Minister in response to all-party
and environmental NGO pressure.
