climatACTical
Practical climate action for Scotland’s voluntary, community and social enterprise sector
climatACTical is a gamified learning resource from Growing Climate Confidence. It is a game of climate choices and orgnaisational strategy. It supports organisations to explore climate action in ways that protect services, strengthen mission delivery and build long‑term resilience.
It creates space to step back from day‑to‑day pressure and look at climate choices together, without jargon, judgement or extra burden.
What is ClimatACTical?
climatACTical is an interactive, team‑based learning game designed around real organisational challenges.
Participants make decisions under pressure, including financial constraints, competing priorities and climate‑related disruption. Each session includes a structured debrief so teams leave with clear, realistic next steps they can take back into their organisation.
No prior climate knowledge is needed.
Who is it for?
climatACTical is designed for people working in voluntary organisations, community groups and social enterprises. It works well with staff teams, trustees, boards, managers and senior leaders, particularly where organisations are at an early stage of climate action.

Annie Etherington, Development Trust Association ScotlandThe Growing Climate Confidence programme made carbon reduction planning accessible and easy to understand. The training encouraged us to take an impact versus effort approach to prioritising environmental actions. This is one of the most useful pieces of information I was given and massively simplified what felt like a complicated piece of work.
