THE climate crisis and the cost of living crisis cannot be separated, according to north Green MSP, Ariane Burgess. She claims the climate emergency will punish the most vulnerable people. The Highlands and Islands Green MSP said: "By delivering green policies that reduce carbon emissions and tackle poverty we can build a clean, green economy with equality and dignity at its heart. Ariane Burgess says climate change and cost of living crisis cannot be separated"Scottish Greens know that the systems and structures at the root of the climate emergency are the same systems and structures that inhibit the very necessary action to eliminate poverty and tackle inequalities." "These and similar policies are instrumental in building the clean, green, fair and caring economy we all so desperately need."
