"If Sarwar has any integrity, he will stop listening to the whisperings of oil executives & instead join the cross-party chorus of MPs urging the government to stop this project.” Lauren McDonald, Stop Rosebank. We signed this joint letter to Anas Sarwar asking him to #StopRosebank bit.ly/49yn4iT

Corporate courts are on the agenda at the First Conference on Transitioning Away from Fossil Fuels. Our campaigner @cleodierickard.bsky.social reports back from Santa Marta. #climatejustice #endISDS

If the next government cares about energy security, it must boost efforts into moving us to a fully publicly-owned renewable energy system. New drilling would do little to reduce bills, would likely weaken our energy security and would worsen the climate crisis. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The UK government needs to call time on corporate courts in trade deals with other countries. Watch and SHARE if you agree!

NO TO ROSEBANK ❌ We wrote to the Scottish Government to call on it to oppose the development of the Rosebank oil field and demonstrate it is serious about our climate commitments. We need a clean, secure energy system for the future! www.thenational.scot/news/2596874...

Today’s decision from Edinburgh Council shows that it is taking seriously the massive environmental and energy costs of data centres. We cannot allow US big tech corps to use Scotland as a playground to build an economy of extraction for their profiteering. www.thenational.scot/news/2595057...

Great letter in @scotnational.bsky.social yesterday from Jean Kemp, a member of Global Justice Dundee as well as the North Sea Knitters about their meeting with Humza Yousaf MSP & why we need to #StopRosebank bit.ly/4sNYlhK

Report by @aprscotland.bsky.social shows claims new hyperscale data centres 'create jobs' are 'ludicrously inflated' These centres for AI learning will drain Scotland's water & energy - only to benefit of the US corporations & their profits, rather than Scottish citizens & local jobs bit.ly/4lwGrxx

For anyone who missed our event with @aprscotland.bsky.social on Big Tech and new data centres in Scotland last week, you can catch up with this recording: aprs.scot/meeting-on-t... There is a whats app group - message us if you'd like the link to join!

Packed room in Edinburgh last week for our event with @aprscotland.bsky.social on the campaign to oppose the new data centres planned in Edinburgh ✊🏼 Do we really want to prioritise Scotland's future water and energy resources for use by American Big Tech via these massive AI data centres?

Happening today in #Edinburgh: Big Tech, Climate Change and Planning Law: Why we need to oppose new data centres in Edinburgh - and the Big Tech corporate monopoly behind them! 📆 Thursday 5 March, 6.30pm - 8pm 📍Augustine United Church, EH1 1EL 👉Book your place: buytickets.at/globaljustic...

Join us in Edinburgh to help us build a campaign to fight against data centers next month! 👇🏼

US Big Tech is increasing its lobbying of the Scottish parliament amidst concerns about new hyperscale data centres and the UK's over reliance on a few big companies with strong links to Trump's interests, to run the bulk of our infrastructure www.thenational.scot/news/2585427...

Foxglove Consultancy research shows that if all the hyperscale AI data centres in the Scottish planning system were approved, their energy usage would compare to 50-75% of Scotland's winter peak demand electricity use. Come and find out about why these AI datacentres must be opposed: bit.ly/4bt29Qd

Gen Z has borne the brunt of corporate-led globalisation. Now it is fighting to take the future into its own hands. Brilliant blog from our intern Hugo 🙌🏽 www.globaljustice.org.uk/blog/2026/01...

“As it stands, this plan is woefully inadequate to deliver the positive changes needed." Becky Kenton-Lake from Stop Climate Chaos on why the Scottish government's draft Climate Change plan is just not good enough www.thenational.scot/news/2581401...

Rosebank would: - Destroy our planet - Risk assisting Israel’s war crimes - Potentially breach international law Climate justice 🤝 Palestinian justice #StopRosebank #FreePalestine www.bbc.com/news/article...

Please take some time to respond to the Scottish draft climate action plan before 29 January and ask them to add endorsement of a Fossil Fuel Treaty to the international section? Instructions on how to do that are here: bit.ly/4qVTCcW - plus more info on other things you might say about the plan.

Financial giant #BlackRock has made BILLIONS from countries in debt crisis 💸 At #Davos this week, they’re joining fellow billionaires to discuss “bold, collective action” in today’s economy. BlackRock we can tell you what bold action looks like. #CanceltheDebt now! #CancelDebtChooseHope

"Keir Starmer is clinging onto the shell of the so-called ‘special relationship’ with the US even as Trump threatens us yet again with tariffs...Trump is not invincible, but we need some backbone to end his bullying." Our Director Nick Dearden in The National www.thenational.scot/news/2577633...

🚨 BREAKING: at today’s #ScotBudget the Scottish Government announced a new tax on private jets, something we've been campaigning for. The true test will be how tough the tax is: it must punitively punishes the pockets of private jet passengers raising millions for green projects.

The right to protest must be defended. We call on the British government to immediately drop its dangerous proposal and repeal the succession of anti-protest laws on which it builds. Proud to be a signatory to this statement ✊🏼 www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

Lots of great speakers at our annual youth activist conference in Leeds. Travel and accommodation subsidies available for people coming from Scotland - see the ticket tailor link for more information!

We've written to the First Minister - with civil society organisations in Scotland - to ask our government to endorse the Fossil Fuel Treaty and to include it in the final #ClimateChange Action Plan. Scotland has lead the way in international solidarity before. We must do it again: bit.ly/4pBjKd1

BREAKING 🚨: The government has just announced that they are ending new oil and gas exploration in the UK and have started a plan for workers and communities to transition away from fossil fuels. 🧵

▶️ WATCH: Ministers from Colombia and the Netherlands announce their joint Conference for the Phaseout of Fossil Fuels 🔥

"The fact that the Scottish Government has still not vocally opposed Rosebank shows it is not treating the climate crisis with the seriousness it deserves." Our activist Jean from Global Justice Dundee quoted in @scotnational.bsky.social 👏🏼 www.thenational.scot/news/2563836...

Great to support the #StopRosebank rally outside the Scottish parliament today. 'We are urging the government to speak up against the continued destruction of our environment to increase the profits of these greedy corporations... let’s leave fossil fuels in the past' bit.ly/4pm6FU7

Today! We'll be outside the Scottish Parliament demanding the Scottish Government speaks out to condemn Rosebank, as the UK Government's consultation closes. Join us! ✊🏼 www.globaljustice.org.uk/news/climate...
