State of Scotland’s environment outlined in new report

On the whole, Scotland’s environment is of good quality and there have been many significant improvements in recent years. However, the 2014 State of the Environment Report clearly shows that some habitats and species are under threat, and poor air quality continues to affect some people in our towns and cities.

That is the overall verdict from Scotland’s State of Environment Report published on Scotland’s Environment website today. The report has been written by some of the country’s leading environment and health agencies and provides a comprehensive, impartial assessment of Scotland’s environment and how it is changing, based on the latest data from a wide range of sources.

This is the first major update since The State of the Environment Report was last published in 2011.

The Report’s five main chapter areas are air, land, water, climate and people and the environment. For each topic the report assesses environmental conditions and changes, reasons for these and what is being done to solve any problems.
