Green politics must be anti-capitalist, Campaign for Socialism demand ahead of Cop26
Parents and children take part in a global youth climate strike in Bristol, one of more than 1,000 events taking place around the world just over a month before the UN Cop26 climate talks in Glasgow

SOCIALISTS in Scotland have said that green politics must be anti-capitalist and that they have no faith in the Tories or other political leaders attending Cop26 to resolve the environmental crisis.

Representatives from the Campaign for Socialism (CfS) have set out their stall ahead of next month’s global climate summit in Glasgow, with calls for Labour to back an anti-capitalist response to the environmental crisis. 

The group, which organises for left-wing ideas within Scottish Labour and the movement in Scotland, said that the fight for socialist policies could not be more important.
