The Scottish Government has now closed its consultation on proposals for a Scottish Climate Change Bill, designed to reduce Scotland's climate change emissions - it is now up to the MSPs to decide. Let them know your views. Climate change is the greatest threat facing the world's poor, yet it is countries like our own that are responsible. Here in Scotland we (5 million people) are responsible for as much CO2 as 150 million people in Bangladesh. The climate change bill is Scotland's opportunity to lead the way on reducing greenhouse gas emissions and make a huge difference to the millions of people globally whose lives and livelihoods are already being impacted by climate change. The Bill can only achieve this if it meets our four key 'asks': reduces greenhouse gas emissions by at least 80% by 2050. sets statutory targets of at least 3% year on year emission reductions. includes emissions from international aviation and shipping in the reduction targets. sets strong targets for the public sector to lead by example, with negotiated green workplace agreements Complete this form to let your MSP know your views and click 'submit' at the bottom Note: You must fill in all the fields To: Click arrow to select MSP Brian Adam Bashir Ahmad Bill Aitken Wendy Alexander Alasdair Allan Jackie Baillie Claire Baker Richard Baker Sarah Boyack Rhona Brankin Ted Brocklebank Gavin Brown Keith Brown Robert Brown Derek Brownlee Bill Butler Aileen Campbell Jackson Carlaw Malcolm Chisholm Willie Coffey Angela Constance Cathie Craigie Bruce Crawford Roseanna Cunningham Margaret Curran Nigel Don Bob Doris Helen Eadie Fergus Ewing Linda Fabiani Patricia Ferguson Alex Fergusson Ross Finnie Joe Fitzpatrick George Foulkes Murdo Fraser Rob Gibson Kenneth Gibson Karen Gillon Marlyn Glen Trish Godman Annabel Goldie Charlie Gordon Christine Grahame Rhoda Grant Iain Gray Robin Harper Christopher Harvie Patrick Harvie Hugh Henry Jamie Hepburn Jim Hume Fiona Hyslop Adam Ingram Cathy Jamieson Alex Johnstone James Kelly Andy Kerr Bill Kidd Johann Lamont John Lamont Marilyn Livingstone Richard Lochhead Kenny MacAskill Lewis Macdonald Margo MacDonald Ken Macintosh Paul Martin Tricia Marwick Jim Mather Michael Matheson Stewart Maxwell Liam McArthur Frank McAveety Tom McCabe Jack McConnell Jamie McGrigor Alison McInnes Ian McKee Christina McKelvie David McLetchie Michael McMahon Stuart McMillan Duncan McNeil Pauline McNeill Des McNulty Nanette Milne Margaret Mitchell Alasdair Morgan Mary Mulligan John Farquhar Munro Elaine Murray Alex Neil Hugh O'Donnell Irene Oldfather John Park Gil Paterson Peter Peacock Cathy Peattie Mike Pringle Jeremy Purvis Shona Robison Mike Rumbles Michael Russell Alex Salmond Mary Scanlon John Scott Tavish Scott Richard Simpson Elaine Smith Elizabeth Smith Iain Smith Margaret Smith Shirley-Anne Somerville Nicol Stephen Stewart Stevenson David Stewart Jamie Stone Nicola Sturgeon John Swinney Dave Thompson Jim Tolson Maureen Watt Andrew Welsh Sandra White Karen Whitefield David Whitton John Wilson Bill Wilson Webtest Subject: Please select a subject Climate change bill My views on the climate change bill Proposed climate change bill Your message: If you re-write this in your own words, you will make this action even more effective.
