Unlocking a sustainable future

When Scotland begins to reopen after the lockdown, please use this opportunity to transition to a green economy and play our full part in
tackling the climate emergency .

Business as usual was harmful, not only for the environment but for many of our people too. This is our chance to change that.

Why is this important?

We have seen the benefits that the shutdown is bringing. Wildlife is returning to urban areas and air pollution is reduced. The lockdown has given us time to pause and reflect on what is important. We should not squander this by returning to hectic lives, rushing from place to place and guzzling fossil fuels.

Coronavirus has forced us into a green economy and has highlighted inequality between our citizens. We can address both of these during the ending of the lockdown.

In order to protect against future pandemics, we must protect the natural world and ensure that our people can work effectively and safely, while ensuring that key workers are valued and fairly compensated for the vital work they do.
