Recent successes
Disability benefit assessments ban
We have worked to overhaul the benefits system in Scotland, and to bring an end to repeated stressful and undignified assessments that treats claimants as guilty until proven innocent.
Protection of mountain hares
26,000 mountain hares have been indiscriminately killed every year on grouse moors after years of inaction by our government. We have secured action to protect this iconic native species.
Winter evictions ban
No-one should be forced out of their home in a pandemic, especially during winter. We worked to secure a ban on Covid evictions and continue to campaign for a permanent ban on winter evictions.
Fracking ban
Oil and gas companies want to drill under our communities in a process called fracking. For seven years Scottish Green MSPs pressed the government to ban it. And in 2019 they effectively did.
Big picture campaigns
Green recovery for Edinburgh
How can Edinburgh oversee a recovery from Coronavirus and tackle climate change at the same time? Greens insist we cannot return to ‘business as usual’.
Independence for Scotland
Independence is our opportunity to build a progressive, internationalist independent Scotland. #GreenYes calls for a bold, progressive vision for independence.
Scottish Green New Deal
Our economic system is broken and at the same time, our economy relies on fossil fuels which drive the breakdown of our climate. We need transformational change.
