Scotland’s Climate Week - 23-29 September 2024
Created: 05/08/2024Scotland’s Climate Week, held annually since 2016, brings together communities and organisations across the country to support climate action. This year, Climate Week will run 23 – 29 September and the focus will be on sharing “Stories for Change”.
The Scottish Government’s vision is for everyone in Scotland to recognise the implications of the global climate emergency, fully understand and contribute to Scotland's response, and embrace their role in the transition to a net zero and climate ready Scotland. Scotland's Climate Week and Let's Do Net Zero campaign will drive forward the climate action necessary to achieve net zero emissions.
Stories for Change
By harnessing the power of storytelling the goal is to increase understanding around climate change and inspire more people, organisations and communities to take action.
Everyone knows that taking climate action is good for the planet, but by sharing “Stories for Change” people can highlight the co-benefits that these actions have and show that all can all take positive steps in their own lives to help tackle climate change.
Perhaps your organisation is encouraging active travel and improving employee motivation and happiness, or your organisation or business is mapping out its sustainability journey and you’ve found a few cost-saving tricks along the way.
Organisers of Climate Week would like to encourage organisations or individuals within organisations to share how they are tackling climate change in any way, big or small, by sharing stories on social media using the hashtag #ScotClimateWeek.
