Is Scotland on target for 2030? More work needed to achieve sustainable development goals

More work is needed if Scotland is to achieve SDG targets
"The recent upsurge in interest in major action on climate change is very positive, but needs to be capitalised on with policy and consumer behaviour changes to match the rhetoric"

An independent report focussing on Scotland’s progress against the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals has found that, despite some advances, the country is not on target to achieve a number of the goals and further action is therefore needed.

The report, produced by a partnership between the University of the West of Scotland (UWS) and Oxfam, reflects that whilst there is clear policy and political commitment on all the Goals in Scotland, more needs to be done in some areas to meet the 2030 targets.
