Fridays For Future Scotland climate change protest.
Fridays for Future Scotland was founded by young people from across Scotland in early 2019. Inspired by the work of Greta Thunberg and other environmental activists, they knew it was time for the Scottish Government to take action to tackle this crisis. Our first strike was held on the 15th March and since then our network has grown into multiple branches across the country and partnerships with large organisations like Friends Of The Earth Scotland. We have created a movement for change and for climate justice. You can read all about who we are below.
Who are we?
We have been given less than 10 years to drastically reduce our carbon emissions or we risk setting off an irreversible chain reaction which will have devastating consequences. Millions of lives, hundreds of thousands of species and habitats are threatened by the climate crisis and we are running out of time to act. That’s why our organisation exists.
We are a group of young people part of the Scottish branch of the international youth movement, Fridays for Future founded by Greta Thunberg in 2018. We have been campaigning for the decarbonisation of Scotland and for the Government to meet our demands. We organise huge demonstrations and other events as well as meet with politicians to discuss our aims.
We are taking action on the 25th of September to demand a green recovery from the coronavirus pandemic and continue the fight for climate action. Join us in making our voices heard.
