A FORMER top UN official has backed plans for groundbreaking legislation which would outlaw "ecocide" in Scotland and hold the worst polluters to account.

- BY DAN VEVERS

Satya Tripathi, ex-UN environment assistant secretary-general, has welcomed MSP Monica Lennon's plans for a Scottish Ecocide Bill as a “positive” in the battle to save the planet.

The UN veteran threw his weight behind the plans during a visit to Scotland in his role leading the Global Alliance for a Sustainable Planet NGO, hosted at Holyrood by new Greens co-leader Ross Greer.
