Motions as amended

S5M-00226 Roseanna Cunningham: Taking Scotland Forward – Environment, Climate Change and Land Reform—That the Parliament recognises that, to meet Scotland’s climate change goals and protect the environment, there must be an outright ban on fracking in Scotland; agrees that Scotland’s stunning natural environment is one of its most precious assets and reaffirms its commitment to protecting these natural assets for today and the future; believes that securing Scotland’s long-term prosperity requires the Scottish Government to have ambition, policy coherence and a focus on realising the benefits of a low-carbon economy for people in Scotland; supports ambitious action to end fuel poverty, safeguard biodiversity, deliver a step change in community-owned renewable energy; believes that fracking and other forms of unconventional gas extraction are incompatible with Scotland’s low-carbon ambitions; notes that land reform is a process of changing the legal, political, economic and fiscal relationship between society and land across urban, rural and marine Scotland, and believes that this relationship requires radical and ongoing reform to democratise land and ensure that it is owned and used in the public interest and for the common good.

Original motion text

That the Parliament agrees that Scotland’s stunning natural environment is one of its most precious assets; recognises that wise and productive use of the country's natural capital is at the heart of a strong, sustainable, low-carbon economy; believes that both its ambition and its record make Scotland a world leader on climate change, and notes that empowering communities by reforming the way that land is owned and managed is vital to creating a fairer Scotland.
