Co-leader Lorna Slater said the party will ‘make sure the climate emergency is mentioned at every opportunity’.
The Scottish Greens will field a record 44 candidates at the General Election as the party accused opponents of trying to sweep the climate emergency “under the rug”.
During a press conference in Glasgow, she said: “This election, we have even more Scottish Greens candidates, giving even more people the opportunity to vote for the climate action that we badly need. Speaking to the PA news agency after her speech, she said the record number of candidates is a “significant indication of our growth as a party”.
Mr Harvie’s speech signalled that the record candidate numbers will be a sign of the future as the Greens look to the 2026 Holyrood election.
