Thanks to everyone who made it to our rally yesterday! We sent a clear message to @scotgov - it's time to make #accesstojustice affordable for all & remove financial barriers that prevent people from using our legal system to protect the environment

Important rally at the Edinburgh Court of Session today about SG failure to honour environmental rights and justice @ERCScot @JohnSwinney

[Monica Lennon @MonicaLennon7]

In 2021, the Convention’s governing bodies issued Scotland a deadline to end over a decade of non-compliance by 1 October 2024.

Why have SNP ministers not bothered to take action to achieve compliance with this important UN Convention on access to environmental justice?

[Environmental Rights Centre for Scotland @ERCScot]

📢 Today 1 October we are gathering at the Court of Session in Edinburgh at 12:30pm to show our anger & call for action.

Come join us 👇🏽

ERCS, together with @NASUWT_Scotland @RCPEdin @asthmalungscot & others, have been calling for better enforcement of Scotland's engine idling ban.

Read our briefing here: https://t.co/3Gf3EzK76c
