“We also know that the bold action required presents huge opportunities to create jobs and transform communities for the better. That’s why we’ve proposed a Scottish Green New Deal, which would deliver quality fare-free public transport, ensure everyone has a warm home and transfer investment from fossil fuel corporations to renewable energy projects.
“Scotland can tackle the climate emergency and create thousands of quality jobs in the process.”
