Backing Scotland’s Oil and Gas Sector

As an amendment to motion S6M-12388 in the name of Douglas Lumsden (Backing Scotland’s Oil and Gas Sector), leave out from first "condemns" to end and insert "recognises that there is a climate emergency, and that it is essential that Scotland meets its net zero targets by 2045 and drives down its reliance on fossil fuels; believes that the phasing down of the traditional oil and gas sector must be done hand in hand with the expansion of renewables and the creation of green jobs, using the wealth of talent and skills available, in order to ensure that communities are not left behind, and further believes that, in order to achieve a successful just transition, both of Scotland’s governments must work together, and with the oil and gas and renewables sectors, so that change can be managed properly and effectively."
