The motion

That the Parliament welcomes the phased reopening of the National Mining Museum in Newtongrange from 17 June 2021; further welcomes the recent announcement that the National Mining Museum, in partnership with the British Geological Society, has been selected as the Midlothian Climate Beacon for the 26th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26); notes that Climate Beacons for COP26, led by Creative Carbon Scotland, is a Scotland-wide collaborative project between climate change or environmental organisations and arts, heritage or cultural organisations to stimulate long-term public engagement around COP26; understands that the Midlothian Beacon will create a transformative journey, following the flow of water, from Scotland’s past legacy of fossil fuels towards a future of decarbonisation, connecting local and international cultures through art and science, and wishes the project every success.
