Yes
Do you support the teaching on solutions for climate change, as well as the causes and impacts?
Yes
Do they support more training for all teachers around the climate crisis?
Yes
Do they support more money being spent to upgrade schools so they are carbon neutral?
Yes - the Scottish Greens are proposing a £28bn Green New Deal that will include retro-fitting of public and domestic properties.
Do they support more green skills being taught in job-related education?
Yes, the transition to net zero is also our opportunity to build a prosperous, fair and green economy. The UK and Scotland have extraordinary potential for wind, solar, wave, tidal and other renewable energy. Scotland has led the way, with renewables already delivering the equivalent of 113% of the electricity we consume. 3 This has dramatically cut climate emissions, while creating new green jobs. In December 2023, the Fraser of Allander Institute reported that the number of jobs supported by Scotland’s renewables sector grew by over 50% in one year. For rural areas like mine it's important skills training can be delivered close to home.
