Nicola Sturgeon has been urged to act on reducing emissions in Scotland as she prepares to join other world leaders at the Cop27 climate conference in Egypt next week.
Stop Climate Chaos Scotland, a coalition of 60 environmental groups, said Scotland must make its action on reducing its own emissions live up to its words since the First Minister won international recognition for her leadership at Cop26 in Glasgow last year.
The Scottish Government is expected to release a new paper at Cop27 on loss and damage finance, which will outline funds needed to address the impacts of climate change that cannot be avoided by reducing emissions or adapting to rising temperatures. It follows the First Minister chairing an international conference in Scotland on the issue last month.
