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
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?
📢 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 👇🏽
