Nicola Sturgeon says credible action needed on climate crisis
Nicola Sturgeon said Scotland's industrial past is a source of pride, but it should also be a "real cause for reflection"
And she said her government would set out details later this week about how it would "catch up" with its own emissions reduction targets, havingShe said: "Governments at all levels have a responsibility and Scotland is determined to play our full part. In her speech to an audience of young people and students in Glasgow, the first minister called for a "significant uplift in ambition" from world leaders - particularly those of the "biggest emitting countries" - to act to limit global temperature increases and deliver a fair financial package for developing countries.
"The idea of 'keeping 1.5 alive', cannot simply be a face-saving slogan. It must be real. And there must be progress in Glasgow which makes that outcome more likely." The Scottish government has more to do to live up to its ambitions on tackling climate change, and is promising a "catch up" plan later this week.the aim was to get countries to "stick with the goals" of holding the rise in the earth's temperature to 1.5C, as agreed at a COP summit in Paris in 2015.
Mr Sharma added: "We need to make sure that we can say with credibility that we've kept 1.5C in reach.
