New research shows millions of people are still living in cold, damp homes, five years into the energy bills crisis. People with existing health conditions are most exposed, with a quarter reporting cold, damp housing. #EndFuelPoverty #WarmHomesPlan #ColdDampHomes #EnergyCrisis [1/3]

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

Scottish Ministers' huge climate gamble with carbon capture is delusional. 🤯 Ministers are betting that this dodgy tech will cut equivalent of 1/3 of *all Scottish emissions* by 2040. But right now there is no plant, no planning application & now the main developer is quitting.

We are delighted to welcome the newest member to Scotland's climate coalition, @nescanhub.bsky.social! 🥳 NESCAN connects and supports communities across Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire to take meaningful climate action - find out more here: nescan.org

"The good news about making our creaking transport system fit for the low-carbon future is that every improvement also makes those experiences more enjoyable," writes SCCS manager Becky Kenton-Lake in Bella Caledonia. bellacaledonia.org.uk/2025/11/27/c...

UK government decision to ban exploration and development of new oil and gas fields is “a historic moment in the battle against climate breakdown” - SCCS manager Becky Kenton-Lake www.stopclimatechaos.scot/sccss-respon...

Huge news from the UK today: after UN climate talks in which there was a massive fight over language on fossil fuels, the UK government today announced that it will in fact be keeping many millions of barrels of oil & gas in the ground. Deeds rather than just words for a change! 🧵

"Once again, disagreements between major powers led to a race to the bottom, and squeezed out the voices of the least developed countries and small island states who are staring in the face of climate obliteration." www.stopclimatechaos.scot/cop30-outcom... #justtransition #COP30 #climatejustice

This week, our very own Io Hadjicosta spoke at @parliament.scot for @sccscot.bsky.social. Scotland's ambition to cut emissions from homes and buildings by 2045 is unreachable without clear regulation, incentives and investment. We need bold action now! 🌍 ▶️ www.scottishparliament.tv/meeting/loca...

In our latest blog from COP30, Louise Davies, Chief Executive at @scottishfairtrade.bsky.social reflects on the key issues at the talks and the connections between climate justice and trade justice she was highlighting during her time in Belém. www.stopclimatechaos.scot/cop30-blog-r...

SCCS board member Ben Wilson from @sciaf.bsky.social has been at COP30 in Brazil. He writes about it in today's @thescotsman.bsky.social www.scotsman.com/news/opinion... #COP30 #climatechange

“Scrapping the Heat in Buildings Bill in this parliament, which was urgently needed to help Scots to have warmer, drier homes while cutting energy costs and greenhouse gas emissions, is a disaster for householders, businesses and the climate alike." www.stopclimatechaos.scot/press-releas...

"Without urgent action to introduce robust mechanisms - incentives & regulatory levers - the Climate Change Plan in it's current form is set up for failure" Io Hadjicosta @wwfscotland.bsky.social sharing our views on heat at local govt & housing committee www.scottishparliament.tv/meeting/loca...

"Drilling new wells as if the resource isn’t almost all gone is dishonest, offering false promises for workers in the sector and household billpayers," SCCS coalition manager @bken-la.bsky.social tells @holyroodmag.bsky.social www.holyrood.com/inside-polit...

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...

Saturday's #ScotlandDemandsBetter march was an incredibly powerful demonstration, with diverse groups coming together to say that we must change the current system that is rigged against people and planet 🙌 🌎

Getting ready to march. Join us at the environmental justice bloc! #WeDemandBetter

As thousands get set to join the #ScotlandDemandsBetter anti-poverty march this weekend, SCCS chair Mike Robinson warns climate change hits the poorest hardest, calling for strong, urgent action that will benefit people and the planet www.stopclimatechaos.scot/press-releas...

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.

Last month, we joined hundreds of people from across Scotland at the country’s largest ever Climate Lobby, calling on MSPs to take more ambitious climate action! Organised by Stop Climate Chaos Scotland, the event brought together over 500 attendees and, all focused on building a greener future.

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 demands better for people and planet! Join climate & nature groups at the #ScotlandDemandsBetter march Meet at 10am 25 Oct at the Amphitheatre by the Scottish Parliament (look out for the big red ‘system change not climate change’ banner!) www.scotland-demands-better.com/march-and-ra...

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.

We are kicking off the #ChallengePovertyWeek climate themed day with a discussion with award winning climate activist @lesswastelaura.bsky.social and our Coalition Manager, Becky Kenton-Lake. Join us on Fri from 9.30 - 10.15am! Sign up: us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

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 be at @intdevalliance.bsky.social conference, acknowledging the global struggles we face but celebrating the positive work being done and connections being made
