Motion text

That this House congratulates Duncan Forbes Primary School in Inverness on being named a winner in Scotland’s Climate Week 2025 Climate Action Challenge; applauds the pupils, staff and wider school community for working together to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through actions such as reducing energy waste, cutting food waste, taking up active travel, and repairing or swapping items rather than buying new; notes that schools aimed to achieve 2,030 Climate Action Points in recognition of the UN Sustainable Development Goals Target 2030, but that pupils across Scotland more than doubled this by reaching almost 5,000 points; recognises Duncan Forbes Primary’s success in the Primary 4-S2 category, which has brought a £200 prize of renewable energy science education kits; commends the enthusiasm of Highland pupils in contributing to climate action; and celebrates the leadership shown by Duncan Forbes Primary in inspiring sustainable behaviours and environmental responsibility among young people across the Highlands.
