Scottish Government

Scottish infrastructure is reportedly struggling to cope with the impacts of climate change, according to reporting by Scottish Construction Now. The warning highlights concerns that roads, drainage and other built systems are not equipped to withstand increasingly severe weather in Scotland. The claim has drawn attention to questions over investment in climate resilience and whether existing networks need urgent upgrading to handle storms, flooding and other extreme conditions.

Protesters demonstrated outside Barclays on Monday, calling for a boycott of the bank and urging the Scottish Government to remove it from its bond programme. Demonstrators say Barclays has financial ties to companies supplying Israel's military, and the action forms part of a wider boycott campaign linked to the war in Gaza.
