motion_title: Backing the North East Economy (Amendment 3)
motion_text: S6M-02552.3: As an amendment to motion S6M-02552 in the name of Liam Kerr (Backing the North East Economy), leave out from "prematurely" to end and insert "the global climate emergency and the aims set out in the Glasgow Climate Pact require all countries to achieve the fastest possible Just Transition for the oil and gas sector; reaffirms that, for such a transition to be just, it must support the 70,000 workers whose employment depends on the sector in Scotland; understands that the growing domestic and global renewable industry provides a major employment opportunity for Scotland; welcomes the Scottish Budget for 2022-23, which will see almost £2 billion invested in tackling the climate emergency, including the first £20 million of the £500 million Just Transition Fund for the north east and Moray, and calls on the UK Government to match this investment in the industries and jobs of the future."
  
  Original motion(S6M-02552):
  That the Parliament recognises that prematurely ending the oil and gas industry would decimate the economy of the north east of Scotland, and believes that it is irresponsible and counter to Scotland's net zero ambitions to undermine the future of the industry and the jobs of tens of thousands of north east workers that rely on it.
