Tabled by Martin Rhodes (Labour) 9 signatures

The motion

That this House celebrates the launch of Scotland Beyond Net Zero’s (SBNZ) inaugural phase of seed funding for projects tackling climate change; further celebrates the effort of Scotland’s higher education Institutions in collaborating to use their research and development strengths to accelerate net zero targets; recognises the unique role of universities as vehicles for innovation in tackling the climate crisis; acknowledges that the seed funding has been awarded to eight innovative projects across six themes: food, finance, built environment, natural systems, energy and transport; commends SBNZ for allocating up to £15,000 to research projects, which will explore interdisciplinary solutions to complex climate issues; and looks forward to seeing SBNZ, and all projects awarded funding, continue to create positive change around Scotland’s beyond net zero future.
