Government

3. Points raised by the Minister for Environment &
Climate Change
The national low emissions strategy will
draw together the wide range of policies
and initiatives that are being taken forward
by the Scottish Government and others.
It will highlight and strengthen the links
between air quality and other elements of
the Government’s work on climate change,
transport, renewable energy, health and
planning, and it will set out the contribution
that reduced air pollution can make to
sustainable economic growth and quality of
life in our towns and cities.
Success will be achieved only through
partnership between central and local
government and between the parties in the
Parliament, so that we can depoliticise what
is an important issue for the health and
wellbeing of our communities.
(Current policy is to) reduce vehicle
emissions and not necessarily traffic
levels/demand
Points raised by various MSPs:
Addressing poor air quality needs political
will, commitment and cross party support
