Looking like a rough ride for the Scottish Government’s climate policies. I see the knives are out for Scotland’s Heat in Buildings proposals.
These were strong proposals to decarbonise Scottish buildings over time, targeting the critical point of sale.
If not this, then what?

Lots of people asking about Scotland's climate targets today (understandably).
We won't comment before we see what the Scottish Government is planning, but our position on the 🏴2030 target is already very clear. It was in two key bits of advice, published already.

Our WWF asks on how to support Scottish farmers transitioning to environmentally and economically sustainable future:
1. Fund nature and climate actions
2. Invest in advice and skills development
3. Guarantee nutritional security

Swiss climate policy shortcomings violated human rights. The European Court of Human Rights's (ECtHR) decision on a case brought by more than 2,000 elderly Swiss women, @KlimaSeniorin, set a precedent that will resonate across Europe and beyond.

I agree: Action on climate change will also deliver warmer homes, healthier air, and more resilient and thus more profitable farms. There's never been a more critical time for us all to redouble our efforts. I Look forward to @ScotGovFM @HumzaYousaf's response. @MairiMcAllan

🚨Not surprising but alarming: industrial #agriculture companies are coming to the #COP28 climate summit to promote business-as-usual.
👉To really transform #FoodSystems for people & planet, meat consumption MUST be reduced in wealthy countries.

Ahead of @COP28_UAE, appreciated the opportunity to discuss with @ScotGovFM @HumzaYousaf the importance of doubling down on delivery today of climate action domestically & the continued role Scotland can play as 'helpful disrupter' for a fair and just transition globally.
Ahead of @COP28_UAE, First Minister @HumzaYousaf met environmental NGOs to discuss Scotland's approach to tackling the climate crisis.
@ScotGov is committed to working with partners, at home and overseas, to deliver ambitious climate leadership and a just transition to net zero.

Strong signal from Scot Gov: staying the course towards net zero.
Was great to be able to meet with @ScotGovFM @HumzaYousaf along with colleagues from @ScotLINK, @sccscot to discuss action on climate and nature, #COP28, and how to deliver a #JustTransition that is fair for workers, communities & consumers.

Mads @madsffm on market levers & turning the tide of consumer demand:
“Fixing the food system isn't just about saving the world. Food is about purity, taste, enjoyment, culture.
We have to make a market for the things we love – how do we conserve what we’re losing? We eat it.”

Ever wondered how long a windmill must run before it pays back the CO2 of construction? According to this: 19 days.
