Sturgeon says Scotland needs to do more

Scotland needs to do more than meet its own ambitious emissions targets to help tackle climate change, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has said.

As well as tackling reducing emissions at home, she also stressed the importance of efforts to combat the problem on a global scale.

The First Minister spoke ahead of an address at this year’s United Nation’s climate change conference in Bonn. She said: “It is not enough to just focus on domestic targets. That is why Scotland is also active in tackling climate change at a global level.” Acting WWF director Dr Sam Gardner said Scotland had a “fantastic climate story”.
