Last night 300+ people attended our National Climate and Nature Hustings to ask party representatives about the action they would take if elected.
Questions ranged from agriculture, international climate finance, data centres, and many more.
The Climate Change Committee's latest report shows Scotland is falling behind on cutting emissions from homes and land. ⚠️
Tackling the climate crisis isn't optional, it's essential. We need to act now. 🌍
#EnergySky #Climate @thecccuk.bsky.social
Climate advisors warn the Scottish government lacks a credible plan to cut farming emissions. Agriculture is a major driver of climate change, and farmers and crofters need real support and funding to shift to sustainable practices.

@thecccuk.bsky.social have published a report on Scotland's climate progress.
It echoes our calls for stronger, faster action on home heating, greener transport & eco-friendly agriculture.
Without this the new Climate Change Plan will not be credible.

The UK's new Local Power Plan will bring "unparalleled social and economic benefits", according to SCCS member Community Energy Scotland.
Community ownership of energy schemes can lower power bills, create jobs and generate much-needed funding for local neighbourhoods.

Start of Spokes budget article... ScotGov draft budget 26/27: Active Travel obfuscation The ‘Level 4 spreadsheet’ accompanying the Scottish Government’s draft budget shows Support for Active and Sustainable Travel rising by an incredible 66.3%, from £135.8m in 25/26 to £226m in 26/27. This has been widely commended. However, when the smoke and mirrors are removed, it seems likely that total funding for active travel will actually fall slightly in cash terms, and, as a % of total transport, from 4.3% in 25/26 to less than 4% in 26/27. How can such an apparantly good news story be so misleading? We discuss this in detail later below, but, in summary… the big combined rise in Active and Sustainable looks likely to be for Sustainable (specifically, bus infrastructure) whilst Active looks likely to fall the quoted £135.8m for Active and Sustainable is misleadingly low, which makes the 66% increase to £226m look misleadingly high.

A vibrant poster with a green background showing a red squirrel, Scottish wildcat, and puffin wearing party hats. They are surrounded by green and pink confetti, streamers, and balloons holding up a banner that reads: “MSPs voted to pass the Natural Environment Bill! Scotland WILL have legally binding nature recovery targets.
Big win for Scotland’s nature! The Natural Environment Bill passed by MSPs will bring in legally binding targets to restore wildlife and habitats. Huge thanks to LINK’s members and supporters who helped make this happen! Let’s keep pushing for strong action and funding to restore Scotland’s nature.
