On April 25, 2024, Scottish First Minister Humza Yousaf announced the termination of the power-sharing deal with the Scottish Greens.

The collapse of the agreement is attributed to a rift over climate change policies, particularly after Yousaf dropped a major climate commitment.

The Scottish National Party (SNP) will now govern as a minority, depending on support from other parties for legislative success.

This political shift occurs amidst the SNP's difficulties, including opposition from the Labour Party, an investigation into its finances, and obstacles to another independence referendum.

Despite the political upheaval, Scotland maintains its goal to achieve net-zero emissions by the year 2045.
