Lodged by Finlay Carson (Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party) Members' Business Motion 36 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament congratulates the Galloway and Southern Ayrshire UNESCO Biosphere for its work on sustainability, exemplified by the development of a Sustainable Development Goals trail that champions the actions of local communities and businesses from across the biosphere region; notes that the Biosphere Partnerships initiative is focussed on adding value to Scottish Blackface sheep wool as part of the circular economy; recognises what it sees as the many training opportunities provided to early career starters, while acknowledging its commitment to young people through the development of educational resources for schools and for Scout and Guide groups; praises it for the international recognition that it believes it brings to the region through visits from other UNESCO sites and by being included on National Geographic's Cool List 2024 as one of the world's 30 most exciting destinations to visit in 2024, and wishes the Biosphere continued success in its future development.
