Have spent a quarter of my working life campaigning for a just transition , whilst the scale of the issues we face is still monumental it was right for @JTCScotland to launch its final report in Thurso today and celebrate the successes of @NRSdounreay @_focusnorth @SIE_UHITHU

We welcome the release of 'No Time to Lose', the final report of the @JTCScotland.

A fitting parting message for a Commission that has done such important work 👏

[Laurie Macfarlane @L__Macfarlane]

It was a pleasure to speak at @JTCScotland’s Just Transition Summit yesterday on the investment panel.

The Commission has done fantastic work in recent years, and it’s critical the Scottish Government renews and strengthens its role going forward.

[Michael Shanks MP @mgshanks]

Today’s @JTCScotland Summit comes at a crucial time. Transitions are never easy but pretending one isn’t underway isn’t the answer.

The UK Government will deliver a plan for the future of the North Sea and a pragmatic future for oil & gas alongside investment to create new jobs.
