We will not be bystanders
The conflict in Ukraine and the latest warnings in the IPCC report only further confirm that we need to get off fossil fuels NOW. We know what is happening, we know what needs to be done and we know those in power are exploiting this moment to double down on the use of fossil fuels, preventing the action we badly need.
Our immediate demand: stop all new fossil fuel investments immediately. It’s time to step up. We will not be bystanders. We refuse to bequeath a dying planet to future generations.

Making Change Happen
A 3-pronged XRS strategy for building climate justice
In April 2020, a small group in Edinburgh kicked off XR Scotland’s Strategy Process. Throughout Summer 2020, over 70 people from across the movement met to offer their reflections on some key questions. Focus groups emerged from those reflections, who deliberate and proposed solutions.
Find out more about the finalised strategy and how you can get involved.
OUR 3 DEMANDS
Issued by Extinction Rebellion Scotland as a Declaration of Rebellion to the Scottish Parliament and Scottish Government on 24th November 2018.

2. Net Zero 2025
That the Scottish Government enact legally binding policy measures to reduce carbon emissions to net zero by 2025, including by replacing a system based on accelerating consumption with one based on ensuring the wellbeing of all.
3. Climate Citizens’ Assembly
The creation of a Scottish Climate Citizens’ Assembly to oversee the changes, as part of creating a democracy fit for purpose and a society that cares for all.
