The Scottish Wildlife Trust welcomes the recommendations for tackling the climate emergency set out today by Scotland’s Climate Assembly.
The 81 recommendations made by the Assembly include maximising the potential of Scotland’s seas to lock up carbon, committing to higher levels of peatland restoration and native woodland creation, and transforming subsidies and incentives to encourage more sustainable land-use. The Assembly has also suggested a new National Nature Service to get more people involved in conservation projects.
The Trust’s Public Affairs Manager Bruce Wilson was one of more than 100 experts invited to give evidence to the Assembly earlier this year.
Ruchir Shah, Director of External Affairs, Scottish Wildlife Trust said: “The recommendations from Scotland’s Climate Assembly show that people want to see much bolder action on to halt climate change and reverse the loss of nature. We hope that the Scottish Government will act on this report as part of a green and transformative recovery.
