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.
