Quakers in Scotland have urged the Scottish government to take action on its climate promises. Friends joined other members of Stop Climate Chaos Scotland (SCCS) to greet MSPs on their first day back in 2025 at the Scottish Parliament last week. The gathering on 7 January called on the Scottish government to show global leadership and fulfil its promises. Last year the Scottish government announced it was ditching its legal target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by seventy-five per cent by 2030, and delayed promised climate action.
