Dundee City Council's proposed low emissions zone isn't big enough, ambitious enough or imaginative enough, as we have explained in our contribution to the consultation.

Dundee has a tragically, appallingly high drug death rate. But to imply that this is simply because drugs are bad and that's the end of the story isn't just wrong- it's lethally wrong.

This is a climate crisis impact that doesn't get talked about enough. A huge area of the planet where a large proportion of the population depend on agriculture for their livelihoods (and we depend on the crops they grow) is simply getting too hot for people to work outdoors in.
