Amnesty UK Recognises Scottish Climate Activists, Anna Warren and Méabh Mackenzie

The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Anna Warren, who is from Glasgow, and Méabh Mackenzie, from South Uist, on being prominent figures in the Scottish youth climate strike movement and being awarded Ambassador of Conscience certificates by Amnesty UK; understands that this mirrors the decision of Amnesty International to award its highest honour, the Ambassador of Conscience award, which celebrates people who have shown unique leadership and courage in standing up for human rights, to Greta Thunberg and the Fridays for Future movement, and believes that the tens of thousands of young people who have taken part in Scottish climate strikes have shown real leadership in taking on the biggest challenge of their generation and encourages them to continue to do so until decisive and radical action is taken to decarbonise the economy and secure lasting climate justice.
