Environmental Policy Progress in Scotland

Ambitious targets in place and progressive results are already being achieved as a result of previous years’ policies. For example, at the end of 2018, the Scottish Government invested £16.7m towards the creation of 1,500 electric vehicle charging points, and this target has already been met, according to the UK Government’s Department for Transport. The Scottish Government has also demonstrated its commitment to tackling the climate crisis, stating that it would be at the heart of the Scottish budget.
