Exxon mobil announced the early closure of the Fife Ethylene plant at Mossmorran. This is a yet another example of the political failure to properly plan a transition for workers and communities.

Scotlands Climate Plan could & should be delivering transformational change - helping green farming and supercharging public transport use. Instead we have this flimsy effort, desperately reliant on the same carbon capture tech that has failed for decades. www.thenational.scot/news/2581401...

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.

BREAKING 🚨: UK Government warned Rosebank oil field could break international law over links to illegal Israeli settlements. New legal advice identifies potential breaches of UK international obligations under the Geneva convention, should Rosebank be approved.

NEW: Scotland’s political leaders are under new pressure to replace the unfair council tax system. New polling from Tax Justice Scotland shows five times as many Scots back reform in the next Parliament as oppose it. 🧵

🤨 Investing £22billion of public money in a technology with a track record of failure is NOT going to help the UK achieve its climate goals, or create good green jobs. Here’s why (thread):

Scotland can't afford to be complacent. We are calling on all political parties to make reducing inequality the defining mission of the next Scottish Parliament. Scotland can show that fairness and shared prosperity are possible with bold leadership and determination 💪

🤑 Would you donate to save the fossil fuel industry? Nah, we wouldn't either, but that doesn't matter – the govt has already committed £22bn and counting of your money to a tech that's meant to reduce emissions but is actually a lifeline for oil and gas. Outraged? Share this!

Not looking forward to going back to work tomorrow? How about a new job?!

Last year’s continued fight for a circular economy was symbolised by people power. We came together with communities in Scotland and across the world to fight for a world where material use is responsible and sustainable.

In 2025, people power forced the energy giant SSE to re-assess the climate harm from its Peterhead gas plans. SSE were forced to account for the pollution from extracting & transporting gas from around the world to be burned at Peterhead. This tripled the company's earlier pollution estimates! 🧵

2025 started with a big victory as Rosebank oil field approval was declared unlawful in court. This gave us a huge opportunity to keep winning the argument about new oil being bad for bills, terrible for the climate and undermining the energy transition. (🧵 on our year fighting fossil fuels)

2025 has been a massive year for fossil fuel activism in Scotland. At the start of the year, we took action to highlight fossil fuel industry greenwashing around the con of carbon capture, and teamed up with fuel poverty activists on the day energy bills went up again.

2025 saw a major legal victory for the #StopRosebank campaign & a landmark decision to ban new oil drilling. But many politicians have been captured by fossil fuel lobbyists – demanding we forget about climate breakdown & focus instead on increasing oil company profits foe.scot/breakthrough...

Fantastic campaigning means the Peterhead gas burning power station still hasn't been approved by Scottish Ministers. With more evidence of its climate harm revealed & the Acorn carbon capture project falling apart, this entire scheme looks like a worse idea every day. foe.scot/continuing-t...

This year, affected workers & communities made it clear that they are unwilling to put up with an unjust energy transition. This has created powerful campaigning and action in some places, but there has also been an increasingly polarised debate over the future of the oil and gas industry. 🧵

Freya from our team has been looking back at a very busy year in activism – from sub-vertising and cycling pilgrimages, to shareholder actions and good old-fashioned marching, 2025 has been bursting with action. foe.scot/resilient-st...

Our team in the north east of Scotland had another great year of community organising. We found new and exciting ways to get the word out – with creative projects and attending prominent events.

The biggest backer of the Acorn carbon capture project is pulling out. It is clear that this technology cannot be relied on. Scottish Ministers must now reject plans for a new gas burning power station at Peterhead once and for all. www.thenational.scot/news/2569685...

Tell the Scottish Government to make big businesses act responsibly 🗣️ Your voice is needed to pressure our leaders to end the waste and environmental harm caused by our economy. We’ve drafted an email that you can send or edit:

International human rights experts this month told the Scottish Government how it can reduce the harms of damaging business supply chains. In this clip, expert Charles B. Chilufya from Kenya details how the draft circular economy strategy could be improved to ensure supply chains cause less harm.

The closures at Grangemouth & Mossmorran have exposed the lack of transition planning by both Governments. Leaving workers at the hands of uncaring corporations & the market is deeply unjust. Climate groups stood in solidarity with unions to demand real support 👇 foe.scot/standing-wit...
