Summary
The Act commits Scotland to a target of net-zero emissions of all greenhouse gases by 2045. This is tougher than a net-zero carbon target, which commits only to balancing carbon dioxide emissions.
We have several obligations under this legislation.
This first version of the Route Map will cover the period up to 2030 in line with Scottish Forestry’s Corporate Strategy and Plan 2025 to 2030, with appendices being updated regularly and iteratively.
The full Route Map will start to be revised in 2029, ready for an update for the period covering 2030-2035.
