Stage 1 Report on the Climate Change (Emissions Reduction Targets) (Scotland) Bill
iiiEnvironment, Climate Change and Land Reform Committee, Official Report, 27 November 2018, Col 2 She spokeiiiEnvironment, Climate Change and Land Reform Committee, Official Report, 27 November 2018, Col 3 further on how this might have an impact on the targets in the Bill and said this might cause the Scottish Government to consider where within the 89% to 97% range to pitch the targets in the Bill.
The Committee considered there are several issues with what the Bill is aiming for:
It jeopardises our ability to contribute to restricting global temperature rises if we do not know what we are aiming for;
It weakens the message to the international community and the perceived levels of Scotland's ambition - a common denominator in terms of targets could be the temperature rise restrictions countries are seeking, regardless of how their target system is structured;
The Committee has received evidence suggesting a rise of more than 1.5°C which then reduces back to 1.5°C (an overshoot scenario) would be catastrophic; and
The environmental and social impacts of the difference between 1.5°C and 2°C are very significant.
