Scottish Government must now get down to work on Green Jobs
Looking at what's in the Scottish Programme for Government. ...
As we recover from the devastating impacts of coronavirus, we have a chance to transform our society for the better.
The choices we make now through our recovery plan and help for struggling firms will shape Scotland for decades to come. We can’t write a blank cheque to big polluters or restart an economy that only worked for the wealthy.
Instead we must reprogramme our economy so that it works for people and the planet. We must build back better to a fairer, greener Scotland that focuses on our collective wellbeing, with strong public services and a decent income for all.
By doing our fair share of climate action and ensuring a Just Transition for workers, we can create good, green jobs across the country.
We can build a more engaged society where everyone has a say in the decisions that affect them.

We can’t go back to the ‘normal’ that was failing so many people in society and driving us deeper into climate crisis, but go forward to a fairer, greener future for everyone.
