2050 is far too late for the achievement of #netzero emissions

SCC recommends that the Bill follow the model in Scottish climate legislation by including a definition of a ‘fair and safe emissions budget’ to which the Govt, when adopting carbon budgets, must have regard.
These budgets should not rely on negative emission technologies

The #ClimateBill must include interim targets that provide frequent and focused moments of accountability to ensure that the Minister is required to take corrective measures if emissions are not declining as planned.

The governance framework connecting the climate plans and carbon budgets must be strengthened, to ensure that future governments cannot set carbon budgets that are explicitly inconsistent with the Climate Law’s overall objective. #ClimateBill

#JustTransition is not mentioned in the draft Bill. Govt must consider the distributive implications of climate policies on the fuel poor, vulnerable, isolated communities and specific groups of workers whose livelihoods will be threatened by a move away from fossil fuels.

The Bill should be amended to ensure that actions to address #climatebreakdown and #biodiversity loss are fully complementary. It must ensure that climate mitigation measures do not impact biodiversity such as wild birds, mammals, habitats and ecosystems.
