Thank you Presiding Officer. The First Minister has confirmed that tackling the climate crisis is one of his top priorities for the Government, alongside eradicating child poverty, growing the economy and improving public services.And that commitment to climate change – both here and internationally – has long been at the heart of this government. Indeed, in Scotland, we were among the first to take bold, early action, and we continue to lead globally in responding to the climate emergency.

The twin crises of climate change and biodiversity loss are clearly with us now, and tackling them is the collective fight of all of us in our lifetime given, that they are perhaps the single greatest long-term threat that we face globally. The motion today calls on this Chamber to recommit itself to the undeniable imperative for action. The science and evidence is not only clear about the scale and the urgency of climate change, but the importance of being part of international action as well as pushing forward domestically.

Our domestic and international aspirations come together in an unwavering commitment to reaching net zero emissions by 2045. That is both five years ahead of the UK and still one of the most ambitious targets in the world.But a just transition to net zero by 2045 will require genuine, transformational action and investment across our economy and society, with significant changes in sectors such as energy, heat, buildings, transport, and agriculture.And just as this Parliament set that high ambition for 2045 it is essential that we come together to reaffirm that ambition and the action needed to meet that ambition. All too often this has not always been the case with modest measures the Scottish Government has brough forward not being supported. I hope that this can be a point at which to reset – we need action not

I want to talk about our role in addressing the global challenge of climate change.In 2012 we were the first government to establish a Climate Justice Fund, solely committed to supporting the most climate-vulnerable communities in the Global South to build resilience to the unavoidable impacts of climate change.We were the first Global North government to commit finance explicitly to addressing loss and damage and have helped to galvanise global ambition with over $750 million now committed worldwide.Recent programmes have included support for the urban dimension of loss and damage, supporting households in Malawi following the devastation of tropical storm Freddy, and piloting an innovative approach across a loss and damage window with Scotland’s Humanitarian Emergency Fund.Those have not only been projects critical to supporting those countries, but actions focused on helping individuals and communities with the impact of climate change – a hallmark of our approach domestically as well as internationally. And as European co-chair of the European Under2 Coalition, we have driven international co-operation to further collective climate action.

I am also very pleased to announce today that Scotland will be taking over the Presidency of the Regions4 Development Network. A network of states, regions and devolved governments focusing on tackling the twin crises of climate and biodiversity and advancing sustainable development. 

Our international role is rooted in what we have done domestically, and where we can point to real progress.
