Also need lower fares to prime that too. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21202#post-365144 Wed, 07 Dec 2022 12:06:45 +0000 chdot 365144@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>“</p> <p>"We are running out of time; we are not on track .. it is magical thinking" .. </p> <p>@ChiefExecCCC </p> <p>“</p> <p><a href="https://mobile.twitter.com/spokeslothian/status/1600442912096931840" rel="nofollow">https://mobile.twitter.com/spokeslothian/status/1600442912096931840</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21202#post-365143 Wed, 07 Dec 2022 12:04:47 +0000 chdot 365143@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>“</p> <p>Scotland’s emissions reduction targets are amongst the most stretching in the world and the Scottish Government has placed a welcome focus on a fair and just transition. Key milestones are ambitious, but a clear delivery plan on how they will be achieved is still missing and there is no quantification of how policies combine to give the emissions reduction required to meet Scotland’s targets.<br /> In these two reports we first review Scotland’s targets in light of changes to the methodology for estimating emissions since our previous target advice. We then assess Scotland’s progress in emissions reduction, policy plans, and delivery of those plans in the last year. Our focus is shifting to monitoring a set of quantified indicators of decarbonisation progress.</p> <p>“</p> <p><a href="https://www.theccc.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Progress-in-reducing-emissions-in-Scotland-2022-Report-to-Parliament.pdf" rel="nofollow">https://www.theccc.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Progress-in-reducing-emissions-in-Scotland-2022-Report-to-Parliament.pdf</a> </p>
