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)
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.

Economic Vulnerability as a Basis for Meaningful Debt Relief
By Jürgen Kaiser on behalf of erlassjahr.de Within past debt relief initiatives, such as the Multilateral Debt Relief Initiative (MDRI) or the present G20 Debt Service Suspension Initiative (DSSI), creditors have limited their availability to countries that meet a specific set of poverty-indicating criteria, such as a very low income level, and have quite successfully […]
Why Debt Still Matters in 2022
Jubilee Scotland was born out of the campaigns of the late 90’s that pushed for the need to address unjust and unpayable debts in the poorest countries – the word ‘jubilee’ itself refers to debt relief. Today – 20 years later – debt remains a hindrance to positive development around the world.
The UK COP Presidency hasn’t ended yet, and here’s what we’re doing…
Here at Jubilee Scotland, we are determined to continue to put pressure on the Scottish Government and private creditors to offer some relief to Global South countries who are suffering at the hands of unjust debt. The UK’s COP Presidency continues until the end of 2022, meaning the Scottish Government’s role as an influential advocate likewise continues.

Finance, Loss & Damage, and the First Cover Draft Agreement
Whilst Jubilee Scotland welcomes Finance and Loss & Damage (L&D) being respectfully acknowledged at COP26 this November as well as it being recognised in the first cover draft agreement; we would still like to be hearing more conversations around debt by world leaders and their delegates.
Jubilee Scotland Marches for Climate Debt Justice
The Jubilee Scotland team ventured to Glasgow on the 5th of November to join the Fridays for Future march. The energy was high and we were surrounded by 30,000 people of all ages. It was amazing to see so many young people, especially children, so passionate and engaged in fighting the climate crisis. The Jubilee […]
Jubilee Scotland’s climate debt video alongside COP26 updates!
We have collated some of the finance highlights from COP26 so far and have put together a short video to remind ourselves exactly what we mean by ‘climate finance’ and how it is impacting those in the Global South.
COP26 and Debt Justice Webinar
The discussion involved data analysis and insight into the impact of debt on Global South countries amidst a pandemic and a climate emergency from Iolanda, as well as powerful insight into the direct and detrimental impact of debt on Zambia from Eugene. Marilyn Croser followed these powerful words by discussing the actions Jubilee Scotland are taking in our campaign to Cancel Unjust Debt.
