Climate Emergency
- Submitted by: Mark Ruskell, Mid Scotland and Fife, Scottish Green Party.
- Date lodged: Monday, 25 March 2019
- Motion reference: S5M-16555
- Current status: Taken in the Chamber on Wednesday, 27 March 2019
That the Parliament recognises that the world is entering a climate emergency and supports the goal to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius; further supports the actions of the 1.4 million young people around the world, including in Scotland, who absented themselves from school to demand urgent and radical action; recognises the moral duty on the Parliament to act in the interests of young people and future generations, as well as communities on the front line of climate breakdown around the world, and calls on the Scottish Government to recognise that the policy of maximum economic recovery of oil and gas is incompatible with addressing the climate emergency, and to introduce a legislative ban on the extraction of unconventional oil and gas reserves.
