Scotland's economic recovery should 'prioritise broadband over roads'
The Scottish government's economic recovery plan should prioritise broadband investment over roads, the Committee on Climate Change has said.
The committee has written to ministers after Environment Secretary Roseanna Cunningham requested advice on a "green recovery" for Scotland.
It suggested six areas the government should focus on, including embedding fairness as a core principle.
The advice has been shared with the UK prime minister.
It has also been shared with the first ministers of Wales and Northern Ireland.
The Scottish government has delayed publication of its updated Climate Change Plan from April to the end of the year because of the coronavirus pandemic.
The plan will detail measures to reach a new target of reducing Scotland's net greenhouse gas emissions by 75% by 2030.
The long-term target is to reach net-zero by 2045.
