Scottish Parliament Votes to Advance Ecocide Bill — Stop Ecocide International The Scottish Parliament has voted to advance the Ecocide (Scotland) Bill, placing Scotland on track to become the first UK nation to criminalise severe environmental destruction.

Monica Lennon MSP, introducing the Ecocide (Scotland) Bill:

“By advancing the Ecocide Bill, we are making it clear that eco-criminals will not be tolerated here ... It’s a powerful deterrent that puts polluters on notice to clean up their act.

After almost 20 years of SNP failure, people here are ready for a fresh start - only Scottish Labour can beat them.

It’s time to choose delivery over division and decline. 🌹🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿❤️

PROPOSED ECOCIDE (PREVENTION) (SCOTLAND) BILL – MONICA LENNON MSP You may have noticed that the name of the Bill has slightly changed from its original, Ecocide (Prevention) (Scotland) Bill.  As this legislation focuses on making ecocide a crime, prevention is...

Ask your MSP to support the Ecocide Bill Just 18 MSPs need to back the Ecocide Bill for it to proceed in the Scottish Parliament.

Thanks, Andrew. If you’d like to see the Ecocide (Scotland) Bill make progress, please consider contacting your MSPs: party.coop/ecocidebill?...

I’m calling on all MSPs to back the general principles of the Bill this Thursday.

Help us send a message: Scotland is not a playground for polluters.
Write to your MSP today and tell them to vote YES for the Ecocide Bill. ✍️ #StopEcocide #ScotPol #ClimateJustice #EcocideLaw (6/6)

This isn't just a legal debate; it’s a moral one. We have the chance to be the first UK nation to recognise Ecocide. 🛡️

The Net Zero Committee agrees the principle is right. Now, we need the political will to push it over the finish line. (5/6)

Some say there’s "no time" left in this parliamentary session. I say we make time. ⏳ The EU has already moved to criminalise ecocide-level offences. If Scotland wants to keep pace and protect our nature for future generations, we must act before the dissolution of Parliament next month. (4/6)

In today’s Sunday Mail, legendary wildlife cameraman Doug Allan is right: we aren’t just seeing "climate change," we are seeing climate breakdown. From illegal superdumps to industrial pollution, our ecosystems are being pushed to the brink. We must deter it from happening in the first place. (3/6)

We treat mass environmental destruction as a "regulatory breach" - a cost of doing business. My bill changes the game, creating a standalone crime for the most "severe, widespread, or long-term" damage. Those at the top who willfully destroy our planet should face the law, not just a fine. ⚖️ (2/6)

The clock is ticking on Scotland’s chance to lead the world in environmental justice. 🌍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

This Thursday, my Ecocide (Scotland) Bill faces a crunch Stage 1 vote in the Scottish Parliament.
Here is why this matters - and why we can’t afford to wait. 🧵 (1/6)

UK intelligence services just made the case for criminalising #ecocide.

I am proud to support @monicalennon.bsky.social and her Ecocide (Scotland) Bill. I would urge all MSPs to support this bill at stage one and allow further debate and hopefully later implementation!

On a fact finding visit to the site of the Monklands replacement hospital this morning – it was great to see the site preparation underway

Now we need the Scottish government to sign off the business case and put up the capital

Real frustration at declining educational standards and having to wait years for NHS treatment in today’s Cambuslang session.

After two decades of SNP failure, there’s an appetite for change - many here know that Scottish Labour is best placed to beat them and deliver that.

A state-mandated review in Ghana has proposed establishing a domestic crime of #ecocide.

If implemented, Ghana would become the first African nation to establish ecocide as a domestic crime.

This May, it’s a choice between more SNP decline or a fresh start with Scottish Labour.

Our candidate, @monicalennon.bsky.social, grew up in Blantyre and knows what matters to our communities.

With a track record of delivery, Monica will be a strong voice for Rutherglen & Cambuslang.

Lots of changes coming with new boundaries and many new candidates.

As the Scottish Labour candidate for Rutherglen & Cambuslang (which includes my hometown Blantyre) I will be standing on the Glasgow list.
