Sturgeon calls for 'urgent action' on climate change
Nicola Sturgeon has called for "urgent action" to tackle climate change in a speech to a UN conference in Germany.
The first minister said Scotland was "determined to lead by example" on protecting the environment.
She said her government would "come to an early decision" on when Scotland would aim to have net zero emissions.
Other speakers at the event included French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and UN Secretary General António Guterres.
The UN Climate Conference in Bonn aimed to clarify the rules set out in the 2015 Paris climate agreement, which committed signatories to capping global temperature rises this century to well below 2 degrees Celsius.
