"It is possible to fulfil very ambitious climate change targets but not without business and civil society backing the Government's efforts."
Professor Jan Bebbington, Sustainable Development Commission Scotland, June 2009
Addressing the urgent social, economic and environmental challenge of climate change will only be successful if every one of us accepts responsibility and acts sustainably.
