Scotland has joined a coalition of countries, cities and companies working towards net-zero transport ahead of the 2050 Paris Agreement target.
Climate Change Secretary Roseanna Cunningham signed the Transport Decarbonisation Alliance (TDA) Charter at the COP25 UN Climate Summit in Madrid.
She said: “I was proud to travel to Madrid to promote Scotland’s new legally binding target to become a net-zero society by 2045, and the efforts we are making to tackle the climate crisis.
“Scotland is a world leader on climate change and I was pleased to meet many leaders and stakeholders from across the world to share our progress and future ambitions– not least to completely end Scotland’s contribution to climate change within a generation.
“The only way we can successfully tackle the global climate emergency is for all nations to work together to exchange ideas and agree shared actions. That is why I was pleased to represent Scotland at this critical summit and I look forward to deepening and strengthening international relations still further at this critical time for climate action.”
The TDA is seeking to pave the way for an accelerated and irreversible worldwide transformation towards a net-zero emission mobility, to be achieved ahead of the 2050 targets set by the Paris Agreement.
