People in Scotland will go to the polls on the 7th of May 2026 to elect a new Scottish Parliament.

The next Scottish Government could deliver transformative climate solutions that improve all our lives but they won’t do so unless we build pressure for change.

Friends of the Earth Scotland is hosting a series of climate hustings; to give people in Falkirk the opportunity to question MSP candidates on the action they and their parties plan to take.

Featuring representatives from parties elected to Holyrood, these events will give the public an opportunity to make their voice heard on the need for climate action across a range of issues and later hold their new elected representatives to account.

Action for better buses, warmer homes and public control of the energy system can all help bring down climate pollution, tackle poverty and better connect our communities.

Practical information

The debate format will consist of short introductory statements from candidates followed by questions from the audience and those submitted in advance.

Whatever the election result, Friends of the Earth Scotland will keep building a movement to put pressure on decision makers in the years to come to deliver the transformation needed.

As an independent charity, Friends of the Earth Scotland does not endorse any political parties or candidates.
