Scotland's beavers continue to go from strength to strength since being reintroduced in 2009.

Driven to extinction hundreds of years ago, they help protect and restore our biodiversity, creating essential wetland habitats that help other wildlife.

Shell has reported a massive $10.1 billion profit in the last quarter.

Meanwhile, Scottish households face a winter of extortionate energy bills. This isn't fair. The system is broken.

These obscene profits should be used to cut household bills, not line the pockets of millionaire shareholders.

By introducing a millennial railcard for 31-49 year olds, we can encourage use of public transport, reduce our emissions, and put money back in people's pockets.

The government's announcement hasn't paused a single hyperscale data centre from being approved.

Until the impact on our energy grid, water supplies, climate targets and communities has been properly assessed, there must be a pause on all applications.

Approving new oil and gas developments would be a failure of a Prime Minister's basic duty to protect our environment and communities.

We don't need more short-term capitalist thinking; we need bold decision-making to build an economy which puts people and planet before profit.

The SNP's actions do not match their words when it comes to supporting Palestine and opposing Israel's war crimes.

Yet again, they have chosen to break the boycott which was passed in our parliament last year and cosy up to companies complicit in apartheid and genocide.

81 years ago today, a nuclear bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. Three days later, Nagasaki was bombed.

The bombings led to the mass slaughter of innocent civilians.

We must do everything to rid the world of these weapons of indiscriminate mass destruction.🕊️

Damaging new guidance from the EHRC will shut out Trans people from daily life simply for existing, and anyone who doesn't conform to narrow ideas of how people should look could face suspicion and confrontation.

We are taking a stand against this attack on human rights.

Nothing could be more damaging to our climate and the future of the North East than offering up even more of our North Sea to oil and gas giants.

To create well-paid, long-term jobs in the North East and tackle the climate emergency, we must invest in renewables.

Last year, the Scottish Parliament voted for a Green proposal to boycott, divest from and sanction Israel.

The SNP voted for our motion, but since then they have taken no action. It's time for the SNP to stand up to their "critical friends" and implement the boycott. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇵🇸

Scotland's beavers are back! 🦫

Scottish Greens introduced funding for reintroducing beavers to Scotland's countryside; now we are seeing these incredible animals restore rivers, reduce flooding, and rebuild ecosystems.

Wildfires are tearing through the Cairngorms, yet the Prime Minister wants to approve new climate-wrecking oil fields in the North Sea.

It's time for Labour to listen to the science and block new fossil fuel licences.🚫🛢️

The climate crisis is making extreme wildfire conditions more intense and more common, but our firefighting resources have not kept pace with the scale of the threat.

To protect communities and nature, our governments must invest in better firefighting capability in Scotland.
