Scots ministers have missed eight of the last 12 annual targets and reportedly reaching the 75% milestone by the end of the decade is unachievable so will be cut.

The CCC has previously warned that Scotland had lost its lead over the rest of the UK in tackling the issue and last year ministers failed to publish a plan which was required under the act to detail how they would meet the targets.
