An Overview of the Sri Lanka Debt Crisis

July 7, 2022 By Jubilee Scotland Leave a Comment

In recent weeks, a large-scale crisis has been in the making in Sri Lanka, and Jubilee Scotland is worried that the institutional response remains insufficient to support the needs of the main victims: the citizens, especially the poorest. Right now, the country is going through its worst financial crisis since its independence, in 1948. This […]

What does debt have to do with climate?

June 28, 2022 By Jubilee Scotland Leave a Comment

In this time of climate emergency and urgent calls to investment for climate adaptation and mitigation, a question that must not be overlooked is that of debt. Indeed, Jubilee Scotland is worried to see the current debt levels in low-income countries increasing. Many low- and middle-income countries are struggling with slow economic growth and high […]

At Jubilee Scotland, we are campaigning against the use of Public Private Partnerships. To help us with this campaign, we put together a task force, and Jim Cuthbert is a member of this task force.

PPPs: An international issue

May 31, 2022 By Jubilee Scotland Leave a Comment

Jubilee Scotland is campaigning against the use of Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) in Scotland. This fight is part of a bigger conversation. Unjust PPP contracts and schemes are prevalent on a global scale, and they need to be addressed.  PPPs are far from an issue limited to Scotland. Despite a lack of a clear definition […]

Jubilee Scotland and Global Justice Now Protest in the Heart of Edinburgh

April 25, 2022 By Jubilee Scotland Leave a Comment

Jubilee Scotland and Global Justice Now joined forces last week to ask BlackRock to cancel or suspend debts between them and Zambia as the country struggles to fund healthcare and education for the Zambian people whilst BlackRock are set to make 110% profit.  The two organisations came together to create a BlackRock pinata that was […]

Zambia Vs Black Rock: Sign the petition to #CancelTheDebt

March 31, 2022 By Jubilee Scotland Leave a Comment

Zambia is going head-to-head with the largest investment company in the world, BlackRock. For the financial giant, it’s just business as usual, but for the Zambian people, the stakes are much higher.  Zambia is in the middle of a huge debt crisis. Debt payments were already higher than health, education and social spending combined. But […]

Shameless PPProfiteering of Scottish Public Funds: making money from hospital parking during COVID

March 29, 2022 By Jubilee Scotland Leave a Comment

Jubilee Scotland is campaigning against the use of Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) in Scotland. The PPP model results in private companies being paid huge amounts of money across a span of up to 30 years, resulting in public infrastructures not necessarily being built in the best interest of the public, but instead, with a focus […]

Jubilee Scotland’s 2022 Campaign: Scotland Against Public Private Partnerships (SAPPP)

March 29, 2022 By Jubilee Scotland Leave a Comment

Jubilee Scotland is bringing attention back to Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) with the second stage of a campaign to bring them to an end across Scotland. PPPs have saddled the Scottish public sector with debt, poor service, lack of accountability, and unsafe buildings since 1990 when Private Finance Infrastructures (PFIs) were introduced across the UK.  […]
