Reform of Scottish land ownership needed to tackle climate crisis, campaigners say
The Scottish countryside
CAMPAIGNERS have said that significant reform of how Scotland’s land is owned is needed if the country is to emerge successfully from the Covid-19 pandemic and tackle the threat of the climate crisis.
Community Land Scotland (CLS) has sent a briefing paper today to MSPs returning to Holyrood next week urging them to view further land reform as a vital tool in addressing the sheer enormity of the dual challenge.
The paper follows a commitment for a new Bill by the end of 2023, contained in the draft proposals published by the Scottish government and Scottish Greens last week.
