In Scotland, Sturgeon Hopeful of Climate Deal, but Returns from Summit to Attacks Over Renewables Policy

Nicola Sturgeon has said she is "cautiously optimistic" that a global deal on climate change is imminent, but returned home from a UN summit in Paris to stinging criticism of her own Government's renewable energy policy.

The First Minister, who represented Scotland at the meeting of world leaders in the French capital, has claimed that her administration is setting an example to the world by imposing tough targets on greenhouse gas emissions and renewable energy generation.
