Key climate plans and policies have been sidelined in the past year by the Scottish Government

Words matters, and this decision shows that climate no longer matters to those around the cabinet table.

Climate stats show that the Scottish Government would still miss the targets they scrapped in 2024

Political programme contains few plans to deliver the transformative change needed to improve lives and cut pollution.

Major policies that would have improved lives across Scotland have been ditched in the past 12 months

Just 3 of 19 promised climate ‘catch up measures’ have been delivered by Ministers.

People are rightly concerned about climate breakdown and our politicians are failing to respond with the positive changes needed.
