ALMOST 3,000 people and groups from across Scotland have called for SNP First Minister John Swinney to back a “fossil fuel non-proliferation treaty” to help deliver a “fast and fair” transition.

The call, in the form of an open letter to Mr Swinney, was delivered as protesters and climate groups descended on Holyrood today ahead of First Minister’s Questions.

Signatories ranged from Makar Kathleen Jamie and writers AL Kennedy and Sara Sheridan to organisations such as Global Justice Now and Stop Climate Chaos Scotland.
