Supporting Scotland’s Islands on their Journey to Become Carbon Neutral - Amendment

  • Submitted by: Liam McArthur, Orkney Islands, Scottish Liberal Democrats.
  • Date lodged: Monday, 16 May 2022
  • Motion reference: S6M-04428.2
  • Current status: Taken in the Chamber on Tuesday, 17 May 2022

As an amendment to motion S6M-04428 in the name of Mairi Gougeon (Supporting Scotland’s Islands on their Journey to Become Carbon Neutral), insert at end "; regrets that, although Hoy and Yell will be supported towards becoming fully carbon neutral islands, inter-island ferries in Orkney and Shetland have been excluded from the new Islands Connectivity Plan, and calls on the Scottish Government to rectify this so that any targets around carbon neutral ferries include those serving all of Scotland's islands; recognises that reducing emissions from heat will be particularly challenging and costly in island communities with the highest levels of fuel poverty, and believes that the Scottish Government must therefore prioritise support through a targeted plan to help retrofit homes on Scotland's islands as part of wider efforts to meet Scottish Government targets."
