Climate Action Hubs
A network of regional community climate action hubs are run by local experts connected to community organisations and cross-sector partners, such as councils, health boards, and education providers. They vary in size and scale, and employ different models of working, including partnership models.
The hubs work to:
- build awareness of the climate emergency and actions local groups can take
- support groups to develop climate action projects
- embed climate solutions into local plans
- supporting groups to influence and shape local and national policies
- ensure a joined-up approach to tackling climate change at a regional level
- work on a range of projects including nature restoration and conservation, community growing, heating and energy and reducing waste
The Climate Action Hubs network now consists of 24 hubs covering all of Scotland, providing place-based support for communities to take forward climate action initiatives. Each hub empowers local groups by offering training, seed funding, collaboration opportunities, and a platform for sharing knowledge and best practices. The hubs focus on innovation, resilience, and inclusivity in addressing climate challenges, supporting communities in making meaningful contributions to Scotland’s net-zero goals.
Many of the Hubs have identified priorities for nature and are keen to help in the development and implementation of Nature Networks. Further information can be obtained by contacting your local Hub.
