THE Scottish government has been told it must implement dozens of recommendations put forward by Scotland’s Citizens Assembly, with experts describing the report as a “clarion call for climate action.”
The new report is demanding action to reduce emissions across a whole range of areas, with calls for a ban on single-use plastics “unless there is no viable alternative.”
