MSPs told workers must have a voice in green transition talks
WORKERS must have a seat at the table in any discussions about a just transition away from oil and gas in Scotland, experts have said.
STUC deputy general secretary Dave Moxham and Professor Jim Skea told Holyrood’s net zero, energy and transport committee that there needs to be “immediate and swift” action on reducing emissions in Scotland.
Professor Skea of the Centre for Environmental Policy welcomed the appointment of a” just transition” minister within the government, adding that Scotland’s approach to shifting away from fossil fuels has caught international attention.
