“East Dunbartonshire Council recognises the need for urgent and decisive action on climate change and will set new carbon reduction targets in 2020 via the Council’s revised CMP, which will set out how the Council will contribute to the substantially more ambitious targets that are included in the Climate Change (Emissions Reduction Targets) (Scotland) Act 2019, including the need for a 75% reduction in emissions by 2030, a 90% reduction by 2040 and net-zero by 2045. ”
