On 6 October 2023, Daria Shapovalova travelled to Lochgelly to moderate the stakeholder engagement event on a just transition on the Mossmorran site, on the invite of Mark Ruskell, Member of the Scottish Parliament. The Mossmorran icomplex in Fife consists of two neighbouring plants: the Fife Natural Gas Liquids Plant operated by Shell and the Fife Ethylene Plant operated by ExxonMobil.
The Scottish Parliament and Government have been developing their policy and laws on just transition for the past few years, and Mossmorran is an important site for the country's decarbonisation plans.
The event featured participation of the plant's workers, trade unions GMB and Unison, Scottish Trade Union Congress, and members of the Government's Just Transition Commission. Lead by Daria, the paritcipants held a roundtable discussion and developed vision and priorities for a site-specific transition.
