Event Details

Did you know the single most effective climate policy is carbon pricing? 95% of economists support a tax on carbon emissions to fight climate change. To make a carbon tax fair and secure a just transition, Citizens’ Climate Lobby Scotland advocates returning tax revenues to citizens as a universal payment. This approach makes carbon pricing progressive, protecting lower income households against increases in the cost of living due to higher energy prices – while ensuring that “polluters pay” for the damage they cause to the environment and giving innovative green businesses a market advantage. Join us for a 1-hour session where we’ll discuss how climate income works, our recent meetings with SNP and Green Party politicians, and how YOU can get involved and make a real difference in the fight for a livable future!

Monday 19 September 6:30-7:30 PM at the Edinburgh Quaker Meeting House, The Library (first floor).
