Our reaction to the new draft Climate Change Plan: major missed opportunities to reduce emissions in some of the most polluting sectors in ways that deliver meaningful improvements to the lives of people in Scotland. 👇 www.stopclimatechaos.scot/new-draft-cl...

Scotland's new draft Climate Change Plan will be published today. It must be a turning point that delivers warm homes, lower bills and better public transport. Find out more about the plan and what we will be looking out for here: www.stopclimatechaos.scot/scotlands-ne...

There's a risk that Scot Gov's new climate plan will be a lobbyist's wishlist of carbon capture, hydrogen nonsense & costly electric cars. 🙄 But done properly, it could cut pollution & improve lives. @sccscot.bsky.social explains what should be in it 👇 www.stopclimatechaos.scot/scotlands-ne...

#COP30: After years of missed targets, the Scottish Government must "double down and deliver" to maintain its reputation as a world leader on climate action. "A bold new Climate Change Plan is vital.” www.stopclimatechaos.scot/press-releas...

ICYMI: Scotland's new Climate Change Plan is due out soon. What is it and why do we need it? SCCS policy adviser @lloydaustin3.bsky.social explains in the Sunday National www.thenational.scot/news/2558926...

📢 Yesterday, the UK government published its new revised climate plan as a result of our Court victories. We’ve had a first look at it, and here’s what we like ⬇️ 🧵

REVEALED: there have been 8,000+ private jet flights in Scotland so far this year which could have raised £20m + if we'd had a private jet tax in place. The First Minister says he’s 'very sympathetic' to the idea but sympathy doesn’t cut pointless pollution. More: bit.ly/4odzzpx

Welcome to hear @johnswinney.bsky.social confirm his resolve to make sure the value of community led climate finance programmes are "heard loud and clear" at #COP30, and to "give consideration" to joining the @fossiltreaty.bsky.social www.scottishparliament.tv/meeting/meet...

BREAKING🚨: @Equinor has resubmitted its application to open the biggest undeveloped oil field in the UK - Rosebank. In the next weeks, the UK gov will decide to reject or approve this disaster project. Equinor hasn’t given up, and neither will we. We’re stepping things up.

Great to have a full house for our event at #SNP25 on credible climate and nature leadership with @alasdairallanmsp.bsky.social, @scotlink.bsky.social, @oxfamscotland.bsky.social and @climateoutreach.bsky.social

Scotland's nature is facing its own storm - bigger efforts are needed to help save it. SCCS member @wwfscotland.bsky.social has launched a new campaign, It's In Our Nature, calling for action to save our precious wild places and tackle climate change.

Fairer, greener, more equal: @jamie-livingstone.bsky.social at the end of #TaxJusticeScotland's conference says it’s time to turn ideas into action and deliver real change for people, public services and the planet. Agree? Repost.

In Scotland we’re known for braving the cold, battling the wind and pretending it’s ‘taps aff’ weather at 12°C. But there’s one thing we won’t just tough out - losing Scotland’s wild places. It’s in our nature to act. Sign our petition and stand up for nature: www.wwf.org.uk/scotland/202... ✏️

Join our SNP conference fringe event on Sunday from 5-6pm: 🗓️ Credible climate and nature leadership: how the SNP can win votes in 2026 Speakers: Dr Alasdair Allan MSP Dr Chris Pollard @climateoutreach.bsky.social Dan Paris @scotlink.bsky.social Jamie Livingstone @oxfamscotland.bsky.social

📢 This is a threat we won’t accept: abolishing the Climate Change Act (CCA) would harm our natural world, damage a thriving net zero economy, reverse significant progress, and be out of step with public and political opinion. We’ve written an open letter to Badenoch to express our profound concern.

Delighted to welcome @cahlanarkshire.bsky.social to Scotland's climate coalition! Part of Scotland's climate hub network, they connect, engage and empower communities in developing local solutions so we can all live in low carbon resilient places. More info: www.climateactionlanarkshire.net

Conservatives have vowed to scrap the UK Climate Change Act if they come to power. SCCS chair Mike Robinson says scrapping the targets would be "an abandonment" of the science, economics, morality and reality of climate change. www.stopclimatechaos.scot/scotlands-cl...

Agriculture is one of the biggest sources of emissions in Scotland - nature-friendly farming could be a major part of the solution, with benefits for food producers, wildlife and the climate. bsky.app/profile/rspb...

Great to have the First Minister @johnswinney.bsky.social come out to the Mass Climate Lobby. Now Scottish Government must turn words into action and use the Climate Plan to make homes warmer, bills cheaper, transport greener. Public money must support those who are struggling, not tech bros!
