It's a golden opportunity to play an influential role in promoting & protecting Scotland's world-class access rights, for all to enjoy. 🗺️

Over 1M voices in Scotland & beyond are alarmed by the CCC report questioning the credibility of our climate targets.

We call for an emergency response to ensure Scotland's climate targets will be met.

Last week's Climate Change Committee report must be a wake-up call to Scottish Government. 🚨

Urgent action is needed to tackle the climate crisis fairly, bringing benefits like lower energy bills, healthier air, warmer homes, and nature-friendly farming support.

We have signed this open letter expressing concern about the delivery of Scotland's climate commitments. Ambitious targets have been set but then not followed through. Its time we did more than talking a good game.

We are very concerned about the recent Climate Change Committee report and urge every part of Scottish Government to shift into emergency mode. We were happy to sign Stop Climate Chaos Scotland's powerful open letter to First Minister calling for urgent action to tackle the climate crisis.
