Motion For Debate · S7M-01726 · Session 7
Scotland’s Commitment to International Climate Justice
The motion
That the Parliament reaffirms its commitment to climate justice, accepting that those in the Global South who have done the least to cause climate change are facing the worst impacts, and recognises that Scotland’s commitment to play its role in the global response to tackling climate change and biodiversity loss, including addressing climate related loss and damage, is guided by the principles of climate justice, fairness and global solidarity.
What MSPs voted on: the motion as amended
The SNP’s motion was rewritten by amendments from Labour (S7M-01726.1) and the Liberal Democrats (S7M-01726.3) before this vote. A vote ‘for’ was a vote for the motion as amended, not as lodged.
Final wording as read into the Official Report at Decision Time. The marked changes are worked out by this site from the amendment texts and match that wording.
