The Scottish Green Party has a clear and distinct vision for Scotland: a place where everyone enjoys a good quality of life based on a fair share of the world's natural resources, and a society committed to the principles of justice, equality and non-violence. We want to build a genuine democracy, with strong local communities having a real say in the decisions that affect them. We want a Scotland where everyone - regardless of gender, age, ethnic origin, sexual orientation, religion or disability - is free from discrimination. We champion civil liberties because we believe that allowing everyone's views to be heard will result in a fairer, better governed Scotland. For a quick introduction to the Scottish Greens, please read our leaflet, “Who Are The Greens?” Since the inception of the Scottish Government in Holyrood, the Scottish Green Party has proved to be an innovative and effective political force for change. For example Scottish Greens have: • led political campaigning for more urgent action on climate change, including promoting legislation to reduce carbon emissions • proposed and helped established the Climate Challenge Fund, worth £27.4m over three years from 2008-11, to help Scottish communities significantly reduce their carbon emissions • introduced new legislation placing hate crimes against disabled or lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people on the same footing as racist incidents • built a coalition in the Scottish Government to signal Scotland's rejection of ID cards • opposed dawn raids on asylum-seeking families and forced a climb-down on plans for police to hold DNA samples of innocent people • raised the alarm about Scottish airports being used by CIA "rendition flights" • successfully campaigned to prevent ship to ship transfers of crude oil in the Firth of Forth, removing a significant threat of environmental damage in one of Europe's most important seabird conservation areas • led the Parliament's first debate on Trident • built support from other political parties on home energy efficiency and small-scale renewable energy • challenged the expansion of airports and major roads, and championed proposals for traffic reduction targets • instigated a Parliamentary inquiry into the power of supermarkets, and supported farmers and suppliers campaigning for an investigation into unfair trading • won a vote in Parliament for marine regeneration zones and measures to rebuild fish stocks to healthier levels • supported student campaigns against top-up fees • highlighted the funding crisis faced by many community and voluntary groups, especially in the community health area • campaigned to increase funding for the arts and heritage The Scottish Green Party aims to build on these achievements. We will work for a fairer, more sustainable society, bringing the bright new ideas needed to protect and enhance our well-being, our livelihoods and our environment.  More information on our policies can be found on the party website.
