British Ecological Society-Scottish Policy Group - Parliamentary Briefing.
Abstract
This paper presents the British Ecological Society Scottish Policy Group - Parliamentary Briefing focusing on stage 1 debate: climate change (Emissions Reduction Targets) (Scotland) Bill. This paper provides context in terms of the likely impacts of climate change on Scotland's natural environment. This shows why urgency is required to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and why adaptation is as important as mitigation to protect Scotland's biodiversity, ecosystems and habitats.
