Nicola Sturgeon speech ahead of COP 26

Scotland has made significant progress in reducing emissions, achieving a 50% reduction since 1990, and aims for a 75% reduction by 2030, with net zero by 2045. The country has set ambitious and legally binding annual targets, including shipping and aviation emissions, and focuses on domestic efforts. Despite progress, recent targets were missed, prompting a catch-up plan with measures like decarbonizing public buildings and promoting cleaner transport. The Scottish Government, in cooperation with the Scottish Green Party, emphasizes climate policy, planning, agriculture, and renewable energy.
