Calling for Climate Action - Mass Lobby of Holyrood
Join people from all across Scotland for a mass lobby inside the Scottish Parliament, calling on our MSPs to take strong action on climate change.
Thursday 29th September 12-2.30pm, Edinburgh
Registration & briefing from 12 at a venue close to Holyrood, mass lobby from 1pm inside Parliament
Last year, all five party leaders at Holyrood pledged to deliver on Scotland’s climate commitments.
Now it's time for action.
The Scottish Government will publish their draft climate action plan before the end of the year, setting out the steps they will take to tackle climate change.
It's important that this is an ambitious and credible plan, and contains action on things like renewable energy, reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the food we eat and the way we travel, and improving energy efficiency of Scotland's buildings.
This is a great opportunity to meet your new MSPs and tell them why climate change matters to you.
If you can't join us on the day, you can still send a climate message. Send us a tag for our climate message tree and we'll deliver it to your MSPs on the day.
On the day we will meet at a venue near Parliament at noon, so that you can meet with others from your region and have a briefing session to help you talk to your MSPs about climate change. Everyone will then go to Parliament together to meet with MSPs.
Don't worry if you're not sure how to talk to your MSP - you will be sent a briefing pack in advance with lots of helpful information, aswell as the briefing session on the day itself. Or you can simply explain to them why you're concerned about climate change and why you feel it's important they take action.
As this event takes place inside the Scottish Parliament, places to take part in the lobby must be booked in advance.
Once you've booked your place, make sure you invite your MSP
