In a damning report, the Climate Change Committee (CCC) said the Scottish government 'is failing to achieve Scotland's ambitious climate goals'.

Scotland's 2030 climate change target for reducing greenhouse gas emissions is now out of reach, independent experts have concluded. A new report from the Climate Change Committee has said the measures needed to achieve the target were now 'beyond what is credible'.

Turning to buildings, the CCC said that while approximately 6,000 domestic heat pumps were installed in Scotland in 2023, this 'needs to increase to more than 80,000 per year by the end of the decade'. The peatland restoration target has been missed for the fifth consecutive year, and ministers were told 'Scotland is significantly off track to meet its 2025 70% recycling-rate target, with no progress in rates over the last 10 years'.
