IPPR Scotland
IPPR Scotland shapes public policy in pursuit of a fairer, greener, more prosperous Scotland.
Through policy, research, and communications, we work to create tangible progressive change, and turn bold ideas into common sense realities. We are cross-party and neutral on the question of Scotland’s independence – but not on the question of Scotland’s future.
