Submitted by: Sanne Dijkstra-Downie, Edinburgh Northern, Scottish Liberal Democrats
Date lodged: Tuesday, 21 July 2026
Motion type: Standard Motion
Motion reference: S7M-00685

That the Parliament congratulates the Trinity Academy Model United Nations (UN) team, led by the Secretary General Stef Lesniewska, on its success in participating and winning awards at the fourth Peebles High School Model UN conference (PHSMUN4); recognises the need for opportunities such as Model UN conferences to involve young people in politics and global events from a young age and to help develop their confidence in being active members of the global community, and commends the leadership, team members and accompanying staff on their continued dedication to the development of debating, research and networking skills in preparation for this conference and future conferences.

Recognising the Lifesaving Research of the University of Edinburgh and NHS Lothian

Submitted by: Sanne Dijkstra-Downie, Edinburgh Northern, Scottish Liberal Democrats
Date lodged: Monday, 20 July 2026
Motion type: Standard Motion
Motion reference: S7M-00684

That the Parliament recognises the work of Professor Ahsan Akram, Dr. Qiang Wang, Dr. David Dorward, Dr. Zhenya Zang, Dr. Sophie Ihuoma and all members of their team across the University of Edinburgh and NHS Lothian in developing a faster, more affordable method of identifying key genetic changes in lung cancer using Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Microscopy (FLIM); acknowledges what it sees as the importance of the funding provided by the UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) and the Pathological Society in making this achievement possible; further acknowledges that lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide and that earlier diagnosis is vital to improving patient outcomes; welcomes the development of a new testing approach that could identify patients eligible for targeted treatments more quickly while reducing reliance on slower, more expensive laboratory testing; understands that the technique also preserves valuable biopsy tissue for further analysis, helping to ease growing pressures on diagnostic services as more cancers are detected through screening programmes; believes that this innovation has the potential to shorten diagnosis times, improve survival rates, reduce pressure on NHS diagnostic pathways and deliver long-term savings through earlier intervention; further believes that Scotland has an opportunity to lead in life-saving medical innovation by supporting the translation of world-leading research into clinical practice, and calls, therefore, on the Scottish Government to recognise the importance of this work, support its continued research and evaluation, and work with NHS Scotland and partners to explore, subject to successful validation and regulatory approval, its adoption to improve patient care, save lives and deliver better value for public money.

Meeting the Challenge of Climate Change: Amendment 1

Submitted by: Sanne Dijkstra-Downie, Edinburgh Northern, Scottish Liberal Democrats
Date lodged: Monday, 22 June 2026
Motion type: Amendment
Motion reference: S7M-00434.1
Current status: Taken in the Chamber on Tuesday, 23 June 2026

As an amendment to motion S7M-00434 in the name of Gillian Martin (Meeting the Challenge of Climate Change), insert at end "; believes that the Parliament has a responsibility to ensure that Scotland plays its part in tackling climate issues, while challenging anti-climate change rhetoric which hinders progress; notes with concern that, despite ambitious targets, Scotland missed its annual emission reduction goals in eight of the last 12 years, leading to the abandonment of the 2030 interim target; calls on the Scottish Government to ensure that the new carbon budget framework is underpinned by credible, costed and deliverable policies across all sectors; notes that, while the Scottish Government published its Climate Change Plan earlier in 2026, further work is required to decarbonise homes, transport, agriculture and industry; recognises the importance of a diverse, secure and low-carbon energy mix; supports an evidence-led approach to the deployment of all low-carbon technologies; calls on the Scottish Government to engage constructively with the UK Government on Scotland's energy future, and affirms that bold political leadership, transparency and accountability are essential if Scotland is to restore credibility and meet its 2045 net zero commitment."
