Scotland. Let's Do Net Zero.
The energy we use to heat our homes and the emissions from our cars are the biggest contributions individuals in Scotland make to climate change. What we buy and waste also has a big impact on the planet. Making changes in these areas will not only help Scotland reach net zero, but will make you feel good too.
Scotland's Climate Week 2024
This year, your ‘stories for change’ are taking centre stage for Scotland’s Climate Week. Because sharing stories is one of the best ways to bring people together and encourage them to get involved themselves. It could be sharing a small change you’ve made to make an old habit a bit kinder for the planet, or a big company-wide plan you’re launching to get your business closer to net zero. Whatever it is, use #ScotClimateWeek to share your story. Hopefully seeing yours will inspire someone else to share their own and take action themselves.
Ways you can travel less by car
Transport is the largest contributor to Scotland's greenhouse gas emissions. The Scottish Government already has initiatives in place to help you reduce the number of journeys made by car. Learn what you can do to reduce your car journeys, about initiatives in your area and help for you.

Let's do net zero
'Net Zero' means the amount of greenhouse gas emissions we put into the atmosphere and the amount we’re able to take out will add up to zero. Our first step is to reduce emissions by changing our actions and processes.
