Commenting on the news that the SNP will vote for Scottish Labour’s amendment later today for a tougher 75% emissions reduction target, Scottish Labour’s environment spokesperson Claudia Beamish MSP said:
“This is a fantastic victory for hardworking campaigners across Scotland.
“Led by Labour’s amendment, today opposition parties of the Scottish Parliament have forced the Government’s arm.
“These targets must be matched with bold, equitable and radical action from the Scottish Government.
“If they fail to do that then these targets will be missed, our planet’s temperature will continue to rise and future generations will pay the price for these failures.”
