Paul Johnston, new CEO at Public Health Scotland stresses that action on climate and action on health must go hand in hand; speaking today at #SSNconference today.

Great rallying call from COSLA’s Gail Macgregor stating clearing that Scotland’s local authorities are 100% committed to tackling the climate crisis at #SSNconference. Now time to dig deep on how to work together to deliver.

Delighted to speak on LG Leadership on Climate & Sustainability SSN “Local government is fully committed to tackling the climate emergency. We may not currently have all the data, expertise or money that is required, but we are committed 100%” COSLA

Attending SSN conference: my takes from the first sessions are: 1. we must be braver breaking barriers & work with different sectors 2. Understand other sector priorities 3. Be more creative in working with others 4. Nature based solutions #SSNconference #leadership

Thoroughly enjoyable and encouraging SSN #ssnconference today. So much action, seen and unseen, towards tackling the climate/nature crises. Much yet to do across the public sector.

“absolutely gobsmackingly bananas”

#SLFNov2023 getting started now. Should be a fascinating day exploring public sector leadership in Scotland. Great to see so many champions of positive change. SSN here to explore climate and sustainability leadership.

A huge thanks to the speakers at today's Fife COP23 conference who produced engaging and inspiring presentations on climate action in Fife. Topics ranged from adaptation to biodiversity to net zero building design, and energy networks and renewable energy. #FifeCOP

Lots of people asking about Scotland's climate targets today (understandably). We won't comment before we see what the Scottish Government is planning, but our position on the 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿2030 target is already very clear. It was in two key bits of advice, published already. 🧵
