greens.scotHere are the latest notable items about the Scottish Greens, based on recent public reporting:
-
The party has been highlighting climate action and green investment as core priorities, including proposals to turbocharge Scotland’s net-zero journey and scale up funding for green initiatives. This aligns with ongoing messaging from their leadership and policy releases in 2024–2026.
-
In internal leadership and party development, the Greens elected a new co-leadership team in 2025, with Gillian Mackay and Ross Greer taking the reins, signaling continuity in their multiform leadership model.
-
Relations with other Green-aligned groups have occasionally seen tensions, such as periods when the Scottish Greens suspended formal ties with the Green Party of England and Wales over policy and inclusivity concerns, though such divisions are not the current norm.
-
The Greens have been active on international and humanitarian issues (e.g., advocacy related to flotilla detainees in Gaza), reflecting broader Green Party activism on global justice alongside domestic climate goals.
-
Electoral context: The party has continued to contest elections with a focus on increasing its representation and influence, though recent general election results have shown limited seats in Westminster, with the party emphasizing local government and devolved governance opportunities.
