Abstract

This essay takes a reflective approach to the question of whether or not Scotland would be able to meet the climate change targets it has set itself and how they would feel if the world was unable to avert dangerous climate change. The importance of maintaining 'practical hope' in the face of current environmental circumstances stregnthens the arguement for the Scottish Government's ability to meet its targets and the consideration of Scotland's role in the global goals in tackling climate change.
