the scottish government, led by humza yousaf, prides itself on ambitious climate targets, pledging to reduce emissions to net zero by 2045, five years earlier than the uk government. that 2045 target will remain. but this afternoon the scottish government is expected to confirm that it's scrapping an interim target of a 75% cut in emissions by 2030. even before the formal announcement, one snp minister expressed her disappointment. the committee said that they had their concerns on it. i'm disappointed, i have to say. i have to admit that i am disappointed by that. the move comes after an independent report said the scottish government's policies and plans to hit the 2030 target fell far short of what is needed. but the decision to actually ditch the target has still left some environmental campaigners frustrated. so if the scottish government scrap these targets, it would be the worst environmental decision in the history of the scottish parliament.
