Friends of the Earth calls on politicians to deliver a ‘green jobs recovery’ ahead of Holyrood election
ENVIRONMENTAL campaigners have called for parties to prioritise green jobs and reducing climate pollution in May’s Holyrood election, including the creation of a publicly owned renewable energy company.
Friends of the Earth Scotland (FoES) has sent parties a programme of ideas that can contribute to delivering a “green jobs recovery,” calling for the next Scottish government to take a more interventionist role in the economy.
The group has said Scotland must launch a publicly owned renewable energy company generating power, putting Scotland on course to be fossil-fuel-free.
