A new report containing more than 80 recommendations on how Scotland should tackle climate change has been hailed as a “clarion call” for action.
Scotland’s Climate Assembly is demanding action to reduce emissions across a whole range of areas – with calls for a ban on single use plastics “unless there is no viable alternative”.
To encourage people out of their cars, it calls for public transport to be made “cheaper, or free”, with standardised smart ticketing introduced across the whole country in what it said could be an “Oyster card for Scotland”.
