The Scottish Government have today published a new Environment Strategy which aims to restore nature and end Scotland’s contribution to climate change by 2045. RSPB Scotland welcomes the new document, particularly the recognition that nature is fundamental to Scotland’s wellbeing, and must be restored.

However, in order to ensure that the strategy delivers on its progressive ambitions, the Scottish Government must now develop a robust, well-resourced action plan for achieving each of the outcomes. Embedding the strategy in law, with targets for nature’s recovery, is also necessary to provide a shared goal across all sectors of society to achieve a better future for Scotland’s nature, climate and people.
