KEY PLEDGES: * A transport revolution – a target to reduce the use of cars, measured as ‘car kilometres’, by 20% by 2030, alongside a £500m investment to improve bus infrastructure and

tackle congestion, a £120m investment in Zero Emission Buses, and work to decarbonise our railways by 2035. * Decarbonise the heating of 1 million homes by 2030, and ensure all new homes

delivered by registered social landlords and local authorities will be zero emission homes by 2026. * Develop the enormous potential of Scotland’s hydrogen sector – including a target of 5GW

hydrogen production capacity by 2030 and exploring the use of hydrogen trains as an alternative to diesel and electrification. * Increase our targets for new woodland creation by 50%, from

12,000 hectares, up to 18,000 hectares by 2025. * Invest £250m to support the restoration of 250,000 hectares of Scottish peatland by 2030. * Double our world-leading Climate Justice Fund to

£24m over four years. The pandemic has shown that, when we need to, society is able to come together to take radical action for the common good – as we head into the recovery from COVID,

the SNP will keep that spirit alive to build a sustainable recovery. BY GIVING BOTH VOTES TO THE SNP ON MAY 6TH, THE PEOPLE OF SCOTLAND CAN ELECT A GOVERNMENT WHICH IS ABSOLUTELY COMMITTED

TO TACKLING THE CLIMATE EMERGENCY – AND ENSURING THAT THE RECOVERY FROM COVID IS A SUSTAINABLE ONE WHICH WILL BENEFIT FUTURE GENERATIONS.
