Helen and Euan went along to a discussion event as part of the Scottish Parliament’s Festival of Politics which focussed on how Scotland is going to achieve the target set by the parliament of a net zero carbon economy by 2045. Throughout the programme they chat to the panel who took part in the event and cover topics including making buildings more sustainable, the potential that a low carbon future holds for business and the practical things we’ll have to do to achieve net zero carbon.

Euan visits a farm in Aberdeenshire that is growing crops for energy. He hears how they are turning grass to gas.

Earlier this week the RSPB played birdsong in locations across the country as part of their ‘let nature sing’ campaign. Laura went along to the V&A in Dundee to find out more.
