With COP26 around the corner, we have once again teamed up with The Ferret - this time to answer the question: How Green is Scotland?
From big-name polluters to Scotland’s most deteriorating rivers and lochs, The Herald’s exclusive, week-long investigation kicks off on Tuesday, October 19, to answer some of the crucial questions in the ongoing climate crisis.
Hot off the back of the successful ‘Who Runs Scotland?’ series in July, no stone will be left unturned in The Herald and The Ferret’s joint bid to uncover wrongdoing, stimulate debate, and generate discussion.
This special series will run in print and online all of this week, exclusively to our subscribers.
To make sure you do not miss out on the high-quality insight, join us today.

Every weekday at 6pm, you can get our brand new evening political newsletter, Unspun, straight to your inbox.
It promises readers an exclusive analysis of the day in Scottish politics - and a look at what's coming next.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
