As an amendment to motion S6M-13759 in the name of Gillian Martin (Scottish
Government Priorities: Tackling the Climate Emergency), insert at end "; urges the Scottish Government, in light of this, to reverse its anti-science approach to new
nuclear technology; notes that the Scottish Government has missed nine of the
past 13 climate change targets, and that its decision to scrap the 2030 target reflected concerns raised by the Climate
Change Committee that the Scottish Government’s approach to climate change was no longer feasible and had no clear delivery plan; urges the Scottish Government to be transparent with its approach to climate change
and to publish the Climate Change Plan as soon as possible, and recognises that
the proposed new Climate Change Bill should be appropriately scrutinised and contain realistic targets
to help Scotland reach net zero."
