  • Date lodged: Monday, 14 January 2019
  • Motion reference: S5M-15380.1
  • Current status: Taken in the Chamber on Tuesday, 15 January 2019

As an amendment to motion S5M-15380 in the name of Roseanna Cunningham (Securing a Just Transition to a Carbon-neutral Economy), insert at end "; recognises that global fossil fuel reserves far exceed the amount that can safely be used without causing catastrophic climate change; agrees therefore that the policy of maximum economic recovery of oil and gas, as advocated by both Scottish and UK governments, is incompatible with the Paris Agreement or with the goal of a just transition; supports an accelerated roll-out of renewable energy and decommissioning projects, creating secure and high-quality employment opportunities, and calls for the principles of a just transition to be embedded across all government infrastructure policy, planning and projects, including the national investment bank and publicly-owned energy company."
