Submission to Defra consultation on the draft Climate Change Bill

Friends of the Earth Scotland welcomes the Bill and the intention to put climate change policy on a long-term and statutory footing but believes a number of issues of detail must be addressed and amended if the legislation is to be effective. In particular, we urge the UK Government to adopt appropriate arrangements to incentivise the devolved administrations to contribute vigorously and sustainably to globally equitable emissions reductions.
