The Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland joined faith leaders from across Scotland in April to call for the passing of a “strong and ambitious” new Climate Change Bill.
The then Moderator, the Rt Rev Dr Derek Browning, said: “We share the earth, our common home gifted to us, with seven billion others whose descendants depend on getting our response to climate change right,” he said. “We have faith that this is possible.”
The Climate Change (Scotland) Act 2009 originally set a world-leading target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 80% by 2050.
