Our work with you to combat climate change
We work to support Scotland’s 2045 Net Zero target through our awards, education and community engagement work, with the ambition for Scotland to become a Climate Literate nation.
We are a Platinum Carbon Literate Organisation and the official partner in Scotland for the award-winning Carbon Literacy Project and have been delivering Climate Emergency Training together since 2016. We offer a wide range of bespoke sector-based training, including for the sport, construction, tourism and housing sectors.
Climate Action Schools is our framework of education initiatives to support Scotland’s educators, young people and children to progress Learning for Sustainability and climate change education. The Framework focuses on five main outcomes: Learning for Sustainability; Climate Emergency; Biodiversity; Litter and Pollution; and amplifying Pupil Voice.
Our Community Climate Action Plan programme was launched in 2021 with support from the Scottish Government and we are now expanding this to develop Community Heritage and Climate Action Plans as part of our new Our Heritage Our Future programme.
But we know we can’t make a difference on our own, so do get in touch if you want to find out more about how we can work with you to combat climate change and enable positive change.
Our training helps businesses, organisations and individuals across Scotland understand the climate emergency and respond to the risks, responsibilities and opportunities ahead.
