Description:
ACTION ON CLIMATE CHANGE A ‘SCIENTIFIC AND MORAL IMPERATIVE’ SAY<br/>CIVIC SOCIETY, FAITH LEADERS AND SCIENTISTS<br/>Scotland’s inability to meet key climate change targets must be a “wake-up” call for all of<br/>society and failure to work openly and collaboratively to drive progress will have grave<br/>implications for the planet.<br/>This is the stark view of a group of religious and civic society leaders and scientists who<br/>have taken the unprecedented step to team up and urge people to acknowledge the risks<br/>of inaction and devise solutions to tackle the climate crisis.<br/>More than 30 individuals have signed statements calling on the Scottish and UK<br/>governments to “bridge the widening gap” between promises and practical action to<br/>build a fairer, greener, healthier society for all.<br/>They said addressing the climate crisis is a “moral necessity” and Scotland must do all it<br/>can to play its part because further delay will have dire human and economic costs.
