Report . .
Think tank Common Weal's plan for a green new deal for Scotland entitled 'Our Common Home' was launched in November 2019 and presented by Director Robin McAlpine at a well-attended event in Inverness on 3 December.
As a follow-up to this event local group InverYESs held a Study for Action Session at the Impact Hub in Inverness on 9 January. This was attended by a group of about twenty people from various backgrounds and an interesting discussion took place. A question which was raised but not discussed - far less resolved - was how the very ambitious proposals in the Common Home plan might actually be implemented - a question which refers back to our TBI discussion at Fortrose Cafe last autumn on the topic 'How do we get from here to there?'
