Sturgeon's independence bid torn apart as major flaw exposed after climate push

The CCC presented its recommendations for Scotland’s transition period in a report published on Tuesday.

Committee chairman Lord Deben was quoted by the BBC saying: “Strategies alone won’t reduce emissions.

“Major changes are needed across the Scottish economy, requiring lasting, systemic action in most sectors.

“Clarity and transparency on policy, supported with detail on how these policies will be delivered has been lacking.

“My committee cannot assess future progress without this vital assurance.”

According to the CCC, Scotland has already proven to be more ambitious than other parts of the UK, in terms of low carbon transport and heating.
