Fridays for Future Scotland

One year since COP26. Thank you to everyone who turned out to march with us today! The rain may have put a damper on things towards the beginning but the youth turned out anyway - #UprootTheSystem (and F**** THE TORIES) See you next time.

🌿 Get ready to unleash your climate activism with some crafty fun! 🎨✨ We're gearing up for the End Fossil Fuels March, and we want you to be a part of it. Let's turn our creativity into a powerful force for #climateaction! 🌍💪 Email cfc@elrec.orf.uk to book your space!

We will assemble on the Mound in central Edinburgh at 11am and march towards the Scottish parliament via the UK Government building. Everyone is welcome, the more of us there, the louder our message! ℹ️ Please let us know if you have any questions or require any support.

If Scotland wants to be a climate leader it must give an unapologetic and resounding “NO” to new oil and gas projects, and formulate a plan for a rapid transition away from fossil fuels that centres workers and empowers local communities.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Edinburgh Climate March 🌍 📅 Saturday 16th September ⏰ 11:00 AM 📍 The Mound, Edinburgh, EH2 2EL Call the Scottish, UK and Global governments to put workers, communities and planet ahead of corporate oil profits. More info and Sign up⬇️

And we're off! COMMUNITIES AND ACTIVISTS COMING TOGETHER IN GRANGEMOUTH FOR SUMMER CLIMATE CAMP, 12-17 JULY Full press release here: shorturl.at/moB45 @falkirk_herald @STVNews @FerretScot @TheScotsman @GlasgowGuardian

Youth climate group @FFF_Scotland said the Scottish Government has "talked the talk, but it's time to walk the walk." @_DylanHamilton_ reminded the FM that "You can't make deals with physics, and millions of lives and the future are on the line."

Urgent appeal to the @GermanyDiplo African activists are crucial voices in combating climate change. Grant them visas to attend the #BonnClimateConference #SB58 and let our voices be heard on a global platform! #BonnClimateConference #SB58 #OurVoicesMatter @GermanyinKenya

💚 SB58 is a crucial platform for international collaboration. The @GERinNigeria must prioritize inclusiveness by granting visas to African activists, facilitating a truly global effort in mitigating climate change. #BonnClimateConference #SB58 #OurVoicesMatter @MohdHAbdullahi

Several climate activists in the global south received UNFCCC accreditation to attend #SB58 conference in Bonn Germany but have been denied access to visas. We request @GermanyDiplo to talk to all their respective embassy’s in global south countries to allow access of visas

Urgent appeal to the German embassy! African activists are crucial voices in combating climate change. Grant them visas to attend the Bonn Climate Change Conference (SB58) and let their voices be heard on a global platform! #BonnClimateConference #SB58 #OurVoicesMatter

#Climatechange exacerbates existing inequalities. By issuing visas to African activists, the @GermanyDiplo can address these disparities and empower marginalized communities, ensuring their voices are heard in shaping climate policies #BonnClimateConference #SB58 #OurVoicesMatter

Our communities are on the frontline of the climate crisis, we are suffering the most, yet when it comes to decision making it is the biggest polluting countries who lock us out - STOP the discrimination #BonnClimateConference #SB58 #OurVoicesMatter

The #BonnClimateConference #SB58 is upon us and yet again African activists are facing a tough visa process hurdles to represent their communities. I ask the @UNFCCC why have crucial #ClimateEmergency conferences in places that effectively lock us out? #OurVoicesOurFuture

The #BonnClimateConference aims to accelerate climate action. Denying visas to African activists undermines the conference's goal of inclusivity and hampers progress. The German embassy should rectify this by issuing visas promptly. #ClimateEmergency #SB58 #OurVoicesMatter

Global South Countries contribute less than 4% of carbon emissions yet suffer the greatest effects of climate change and are usually denied from making contributions on agendas to be discussed. Voices of Global South Countries matter. @UNFCCC @GermanyDiplo #SB58 #OurVoicesMatter

We cannot have SB58 without African activsts, appove their visas @GermanyDiplo #SB58 #OurVoicesMatter

Here's our statement on the election of Humza Yousaf👇

We wish Humza Yousaf luck and are looking forward to working with him in the future. 8/8

Additionally, Fridays for Future Scotland would like to express our concern at the amount of support for Kate Forbes, a candidate who represented the prospect of an enormous step backward for Scotland on just transition, LGBTQ+ rights and reproductive justice. 7/8

Fridays For Future Scotland wish to congratulate Humza Yousaf on winning the SNP Leadership election and look forward to his first few weeks as First Minister, if approved by the Scottish Parliament. 1/8
