Supporting Scotland's Third Sector towards net zero

Welcome to Growing Climate Confidence, where third sector organisations in Scotland can find help to reduce emissions and engage their community. You can learn about the climate crisis, share your experiences with others in the sector, and discover actions and funding you can take to address it. Our Checkup will assist you in assessing your progress on the journey to net zero.

Your actions from around Scotland

YouthLink Scotland support the youth work sector to feel more confident and equipped in engaging young people with outdoor learning, climate action, sustainable development education and much more. We have done this through the creation of toolkits and webinars on topics including Eco Anxiety, Climate Justice, Green Employability and Creative Outdoor Learning. We have also more recently developed a Sustainability Policy for our organisation inspired by the Growing Climate Confidence resources. Naomi Dixon, YouthLink Scotland
To encourage staff to participate in active travel we have hired two electric bikes from local social enterprise, Bike for Good via their Switch Up subscription service. Staff can book the bikes via our booking system to travel to client meetings. This is a pilot project we're running for a couple of months in the hope it will motivate staff to look at more active ways to travel for business and personally. Jo Seagrave, CEIS
