Environmental campaigners have hailed proposals by Labour MSP Monica Lennon
Climate criminals could be jailed for twenty years under new plans to clamp down on people who trash the planet.
Countries like Brazil and the Netherlands are developing ecocide legislation in an attempt to tackle the climate and nature emergency.Examples of ecocide include oil spills, radioactive contamination, unsustainable fishing practices and the presence of plastics in seas. “We must stop eco-criminals in their tracks, and ecocide law is the crime deterrent that our planet urgently needs. Under my proposals, Scotland will be the first country in the UK to make ecocide a crime and the tough sanctions in the consultation could see those who threaten our planet put in jail for between 10 and 20 years.
“We currently lack national and international legal mechanisms to shield us from the most severe harms to nature. Today, Scotland has emerged as a global leader in addressing this legal gap by embarking on the journey to establish criminal laws that genuinely protect both people and the planet.
