We are truly honoured to have been awarded the @CIEEMnet NGO Impact Award!
Enormous thanks to MSP @NatureChampions past & present who have been a voice for nature in @ScotParl, and to the fantastic @ScotLINK members who make the initiative possible.
Here's to the next 10 years!
In his full speech we are glad that @johnswinney has recognised that
“The threat posed by the climate emergency – and the twin crises of climate change and biodiversity loss – is real and present, but so is the opportunity to successfully reach net zero and beyond. “🧵

🔵 eradicating child poverty
🔵 growing Scotland’s economy
🔵 tackling the climate emergency
🔵 improving public services
