(1)The Scottish Ministers must ensure that the net Scottish emissions account is at least the relevant target figure lower than the baseline for each year in the period—
(a)beginning with 2021 and ending with 2029 (the “2021-2029 period”),
(b)beginning with 2031 and ending with 2039 (the “2031-2039 period”), and
(c)beginning with 2041 and ending with the year which immediately precedes any net-zero emissions target year after 2041 (the “final annual target period”).
(2)The relevant target figure for each year in the 2021-2029 period is a percentage figure calculated by—
(a)taking the difference between the percentage figures applying for the purposes of the interim targets for 2020 and 2030, and
(b)apportioning that difference in a way which results in there being an equal percentage point change between the percentage figure for each consecutive year in the period beginning with 2020 and ending with 2030.
(3)The relevant target figure for each year in the 2031-2039 period is a percentage figure calculated by—
(a)taking the difference between the percentage figures applying for the purposes of the interim targets for 2030 and 2040, and
(b)apportioning that difference in a way which results in there being an equal percentage point change between the percentage figure for each consecutive year in the period beginning with 2030 and ending with 2040.
(4)The relevant target figure for each year in the final annual target period is a percentage figure calculated by—
(a)taking the difference between the percentage figure applying for the purposes of the interim target for 2040 and 100%, and
(b)apportioning that difference in a way which results in there being an equal percentage point change between the percentage figure for each consecutive year in the period beginning with 2040 and ending with the net-zero emissions target year.
(5)In calculating or recalculating a relevant percentage figure by virtue of this section or section 3A or 3B, the figure must be rounded to one decimal place, with numbers at the midpoint or greater being rounded up and other numbers being rounded down.
(6)In this Act, each target set by virtue of this section (or recalculated in accordance with section 3A or 3B) is known as an “annual target”.]
