Despite the setback, Net Zero Secretary Mairi McAllan insisted the overarching goal of achieving net zero for Scotland by 2045 remained intact.
The SNP-Green government yesterday scrapped a key 2030 climate target, sparking outrage from environmental groups - but set out new measures on electric cars and public transport.
The Nats minister also pledged to “explore” an integrated national ticketing system for all public transport in Scotland - first mooted by Nicola Sturgeon in 2012 - as well as policies to decarbonise farming and boost nature. And Friends of the Earth Scotland’s head of campaigns Imogen Dow blasted: "SNP and Green ministers choosing to scrap these climate commitments is the worst environmental decision in the history of the Scottish Parliament.
Lang Banks, director of WWF Scotland said: “It’s bitterly disappointing that Scottish Government delays in delivering its own policies, over many years, has led to this announcement. “The range of largely reheated measures announced by the Scottish Government are wholly inadequate and fall very significantly short of the transformational acceleration in action needed."
As a result, it said: "The acceleration required in emissions reduction to meet the 2030 target is now beyond what is credible." But she said amid a "challenging context of cuts and UK backtracking" on environmental action, the Scottish Government accepted that the "interim 2030 target is out of reach".
