Scotland's carbon footprint rebounded post-pandemic

Responding to new statistics showing that Scotland's carbon footprint in 2021 was the highest it has been since 2015, Liberal Democrat Scottish Affairs Spokesperson Christine Jardine MP said:

"Despite all the SNP's boasting, they haven't delivered when it comes to the hard graft of insulating homes, creating good green jobs and making sure everyone benefits from the transition to net zero.

"If Scotland is going to meet its vital net zero targets then we are going to need more than just hot air from the Scottish Government.

"To bring down bills and emissions Scottish Liberal Democrats would rapidly insulate homes, drive a rooftop solar revolution, install thousands more EV chargers and overhaul community benefit rules so that local communities get a proper share of the wealth from the renewables rollout on their doorstep."
