ACTION ON CLIMATE CHANGE A ‘SCIENTIFIC AND MORAL IMPERATIVE’ SAY
CIVIC SOCIETY, FAITH LEADERS AND SCIENTISTS
Scotland’s inability to meet key climate change targets must be a “wake-up” call for all of
society and failure to work openly and collaboratively to drive progress will have grave
implications for the planet.
This is the stark view of a group of religious and civic society leaders and scientists who
have taken the unprecedented step to team up and urge people to acknowledge the risks
of inaction and devise solutions to tackle the climate crisis.
More than 30 individuals have signed statements calling on the Scottish and UK
governments to “bridge the widening gap” between promises and practical action to
build a fairer, greener, healthier society for all.
They said addressing the climate crisis is a “moral necessity” and Scotland must do all it
can to play its part because further delay will have dire human and economic costs.
