A Vision for a Just Scotland

Scotland is at an important moment. With the 2026 Holyrood election approaching, we have the chance to shape a future that is fair, green, and inclusive. The Scottish Parliament must make the most of the levers it controls, while Westminster must use its powers too.

Oxfam Scotland’s new paper, A Vision for a Just Scotland, sets out a clear plan for how the next Scottish Parliament can help make life better for everyone.

Short on time? Here’s a quick overview of what the paper recommends and what a fairer Scotland could look like.

Economic Justice: A Fair Economy for All

A just Scotland is one where we tackle deep economic inequalities with everyone having enough to live on and a warm, affordable home. Good, steady jobs should protect people from poverty. Public services must be strong, and those who can afford it should pay their fair share to fund the support we all rely on.

Social Justice: Strong Communities and Support

Life can be tough, and everyone should have help when they need it. No child should grow up in poverty and carers should be valued and supported with public services there to back people up so that no one is left behind. Inequalities of gender and race must be narrowed.

Climate Justice: Protecting People and Planet

The climate crisis affects all of us. Scotland must act boldly and fairly to cut pollution and invest in renewable energy – ensuring we make polluters pay for their damage. This isn’t just about the environment, it’s about creating green jobs and healthier communities where both people and nature can thrive.

Global Justice: Scotland’s Role in the World

Scotland has a responsibility to help build a fairer, safer world. That means standing up for global justice while supporting international development and helping those facing crisis.
