Friends of the Earth Scotland’s briefing to MSPs ahead of their first debate and initial vote on the Civil Litigation (Expenses and Group Proceedings) Bill.
Friends of the Earth Scotland recommends four actions the Scottish Government could take right now to tackle the crisis: a Low Emission Zone in every city in Scotland, investing 10% of the transport budget into walking and cycling, giving councils more power to improve bus services, and making 20mph the default speed limit in built-up areas.
The UK General Election on 8 June 2017 takes place at a crucial time for our environment. The next government will decide how to meet our Paris Agreement goals to halt global warming, how to tackle the deadly public health crisis of air pollution, and how to build a just, sustainable economy after the age of oil.
