Climate Change (Emissions Reduction Targets)(Scotland) Bill: child rights and wellbeing impact assessment

3. Summary of evidence gathered

Evidence for this assessment was gathered from:

• existing research/reports/policy expertise
• consultation/feedback from stakeholders
• consultation/feedback directly from children and young people

The development of the Bill was initiated by the report from the CCC on progress in reducing emissions in Scotland, published in March 2024. The report highlighted that the acceleration in policy and actions required to meet the 2030 emissions reduction target was now beyond what is credible.
