When devastating floods hit Kenya, homes and livelihoods were destroyed and there was a surge in sexual and gender-based violence.
@oxfaminKE & local partners responded, backed by £125k from @scotgov's Humanitarian Emergency Fund.

📺As @JamiePolitics tells @BBCScotlandNews, @scotgov's re-writing of its own climate rulebook is an acute global embarrassment and a mess of Ministers' own making.
Our full reaction to the news a key Scottish emission reduction target is being axed bit.ly/3W3FaUc

Today @scotgov announced plans to weaken climate laws, axing the 2030 emissions reduction target. While every @ScotParl party has a role to play @scotgov cannot duck responsibility.
Our climate promises are broken - @ScotGovFM get Scotland’s climate commitments back on track.

The #WPS agenda is being prioritised through implementation of the fifth NAP, but overall, we found it is isolated and inconsistent in UK Gov work.

“After scant progress to reduce emissions this damning report comes as no surprise. Since declaring a climate emergency, @scotgov has failed to deliver anything close to an emergency response, & must now redouble efforts"
Full response to @theCCCuk report stopclimatechaos.scot/adviso…
We’ve published the latest assessment of Scotland’s progress to reduce emissions. The Committee no longer believes that the Scottish Government will meet its statutory 2030 goal to reduce emissions by 75%. More: theccc.org.uk/2024/03/20/sco… xitter.cf/theCCCuk/status/177023…

We'll only deliver emission cuts at speed & scale if the transition is fair.
@IPPRScotland w/ @OxfamScotland @sfha_hq explore how clean heating can be paid for fairly. ⏬
Full grants for those on low incomes, with better off (who tend to pollute more) paying more via fair taxes
