The campaign in Scotland said: “We believe that climate action and thus climate education policy must be at the forefront of the election as the education system is currently not preparing students and pupils for the challenges we face now and in the future nor is it empowering students to fight for climate justice.

We thank the Scottish Green Party for taking this important step.”

It is said that the public memory is a fickle thing, with grand events and great happenings fading in our minds just as suddenly as they occurred. Perhaps our lives are shaped just as much by the memories we have lost as by the memories we retain.

Why is no-one listening?
