Activists push Scotland’s new public bank towards climate leadership
Efforts by climate activists have won huge changes to Scotland's new public bank. That's worth celebrating....
We are facing a climate crisis, with people around the world feeling the deadly effects of climate breakdown.
But we know another world is possible. Tackling the root causes of climate change gives us a chance to stop its worst impacts and create a fairer and more equal world.
Without a radical transformation of our economies and energy systems we face devastating climate breakdown. This puts our ability to grow enough food at risk, increasing political instability and wiping out tens of thousands of plant and animal species.
What’s more, it is usually those who contributed least to the causes of climate change who will suffer most from its impacts.
Friends of the Earth Scotland campaigns for radical action to cut climate emissions and end fossil fuels here in Scotland, and demanding climate justice for all.
An end to North Sea Oil & Gas
Our major ‘Sea Change’ report has revealed UK’s oil and gas drilling plans, and Scottish Government’s support for them, are incompatible with responding to the climate emergency.
The research also shows that, with the right policies and support, clean industries could create more than three jobs for every oil and gas job at risk.

Find out more about international climate action from the Paris Agreement to the IPCC, and how we work with our Friends of the Earth International network and other key allies to fight for climate justice.
No false solutions
Tackling the climate crisis requires urgent action to cut emissions and transform society, not years more delay in the hope that technology and the markets will provide the answer.
We’re fighting against false solutions.
Scotland's new climate law
