Your suggestions for climate new year’s resolutions in 2024
We launched our new year’s climate resolutions campaign at the COP28 Global Day of Action on 9th December in Edinburgh, and have gathered hundreds of suggestions from people across Scotland for new year’s climate resolutions for party leaders to commit to.
As a country we have the opportunity to step out and take practical action and lead the way in tackling the climate emergency. Please can you commit to taking practical action, demonstrating what is possible to others so that our planet can flourish.

We only have one planet, Scotland can show it is leading the world on climate action but work on this needs to step up a gear. Our future and that of our children and grandchildren depend on it.

2023 was the hottest year recorded globally, and climate-driven disasters made themselves painfully felt both close to home and across the world. We urgently need strong and decisive action on climate justice to protect us, our communities and our children. Please act now, and make polluters pay.

Whilst you must have many messages urging you to take action on one issue or another and you may be pushed to act positively on all. This one is different - it affects your life and that of my and your families. Please do not ignore us, but as our leaders put the points made into reality.

Regardless of your party, it's clear that 2024 is going to be a big year. The issue that is front and centre for me is climate change. It's clear that people around the world are suffering massively - yet we can do so much as a nation to set an example in our actions, policies and funding decisions. Thanks for listening!
Kerri
We've listened to enough words, let's see some action before it's too late, act now for the sake of the planet and all our futures.

Please use your position in leadership of Scotland to really make a difference! Climate change is happening, and this world, like our bodies, is the only one we have. It is vital that we make radical changes now!! Not tomorrow!!
Elspeth
During this election year this is your chance to demonstrate real commitment to greener, fairer policies that are translated into change on the ground. Please, for the sake of our planet’s future and for those most vulnerable to the effects of climate change, act now!
