One year since COP26. Thank you to everyone who turned out to march with us today! The rain may have put a damper on things towards the beginning but the youth turned out anyway - #UprootTheSystem (and F**** THE TORIES)
See you next time.

Urgent appeal to the @GermanyDiplo African activists are crucial voices in combating climate change.
Grant them visas to attend the #BonnClimateConference #SB58 and let our voices be heard on a global platform! #BonnClimateConference #SB58 #OurVoicesMatter

馃挌 SB58 is a crucial platform for international collaboration. The @GERinNigeria must prioritize inclusiveness by granting visas to African activists, facilitating a truly global effort in mitigating climate change.

Several climate activists in the global south received UNFCCC accreditation to attend #SB58 conference in Bonn Germany but have been denied access to visas. We request @GermanyDiplo to talk to all their respective embassy鈥檚 in global south countries to allow access of visas

#Climatechange exacerbates existing inequalities. By issuing visas to African activists, the @GermanyDiplo can address these disparities and empower marginalized communities, ensuring their voices are heard in shaping climate policies #BonnClimateConference #SB58 #OurVoicesMatter

Our communities are on the frontline of the climate crisis, we are suffering the most, yet when it comes to decision making it is the biggest polluting countries who lock us out - STOP the discrimination #BonnClimateConference #SB58 #OurVoicesMatter

The #BonnClimateConference #SB58 is upon us and yet again African activists are facing a tough visa process hurdles to represent their communities.
I ask the @UNFCCC why have crucial #ClimateEmergency conferences in places that effectively lock us out?

The #BonnClimateConference aims to accelerate climate action. Denying visas to African activists undermines the conference's goal of inclusivity and hampers progress. The German embassy should rectify this by issuing visas promptly. #ClimateEmergency #SB58 #OurVoicesMatter

Global South Countries contribute less than 4% of carbon emissions yet suffer the greatest effects of climate change and are usually denied from making contributions on agendas to be discussed. Voices of Global South Countries matter. @UNFCCC @GermanyDiplo #SB58 #OurVoicesMatter

We welcome his stances on phasing out fossil fuels and tackling the climate crisis so far. Scotland remains uniquely positioned with an abundance of renewable energy sources. 2/8

Progress has been made under Nicola Sturgeon, such as improvements to Just Transition schemes for oil workers, but the most important work still lies ahead of us. We sincerely hope that Scotland, under Humza Yousaf鈥檚 leadership, will rise to this challenge. 3/8

Ultimately, Scotland needs to do much more to be in line with global climate targets. Under an SNP government many sectors, for example, agriculture and transport, have seen virtually no emissions reductions, and multiple road projects have been approved. 4/8

When the whole world is failing, being a world leader is not enough; there is no use in being the fastest snail. We do not have the luxury of taking things one step at a time; we need a just transition away from fossil fuels as quickly as possible. 5/8

We hope that Humza Yousaf will make the tough decisions we need in order to secure a liveable future for all. Of all three candidates, his comments have shown the best understanding of the climate crisis and what must be done to tackle it. 6/8

Additionally, Fridays for Future Scotland would like to express our concern at the amount of support for Kate Forbes, a candidate who represented the prospect of an enormous step backward for Scotland on just transition, LGBTQ+ rights and reproductive justice. 7/8
