Our first panel discussion is off to the races - we're joined by Dr Philile Mbatha from @OneOceanHub , Line Christensen from @sciaf & Craig Dalzell from @Common_Weal to discuss the importance of coherence when policy-making. #SIDAConf2024
Inspiring to see 13 year old Favour, from Save the Children, Malawi speaking at the #SIDAconf2024 about how to respect and learn from #FutureGenerations in order to tackle climate change and other issues.

Any reduction in spending on climate action will only end up costing much more in the long term.
To address the pressures on public finances @scotgov should be using every devolved tax lever to make polluters pay and raise new funds for climate action, and their other priorities of improving public services and tackling poverty.
HOOP TIL YOU DROP
We are running a series of workshops Sundays 2-4pm Hulahoop making and skills workshops. Come and make your own perfectly sized hoop and then decorate it to your own colour taste.
