THE Greens announced plans for Scotland’s “just transition” to a greener economy in their election manifesto today, including a jobs guarantee for all fossil fuel workers and wealth taxes on the country’s richest 10 per cent.
Party co-leaders Lorna Slater and Patrick Harvie laid out proposals ahead of May’s Holyrood election putting Scotland’s recovery from the pandemic at the top of their agenda.
The manifesto, titled Our Common Future, includes plans for a windfall tax on companies that have made a profit during the pandemic.
