Scotland’s Climate Week is an annual event, which started in 2016, to help raise awareness of the global climate emergency and celebrate Scotland’s leadership in taking action against climate change.
Throughout Scotland’s Climate Week, we’re asking businesses and organisations to highlight the changes they’re already making in response to the global climate emergency, and to bring their employees, families and communities into the conversation on what they can do help tackle climate change. The aim is for climate action to become a hot topic of conversation at workplaces, homes and community spaces up and down the country.
Use the hashtag #ScotClimateWeek to promote your activities and get involved in the conversation online.
Scotland’s Climate Week is also the perfect opportunity to look at how your business or organisation is taking action to tackle climate change and reach net zero. It’s a chance to decarbonise supply chains to make them more resilient and adaptable; to upskill and retrain employees, future-proofing jobs and tapping into the increasing pool of labour with green skills; to explore new sources of funding and advice to enable action.

“Firms that adjust their business models to the transition to net zero world will be rewarded handsomely. Those that fail to adapt will cease to exist.”
Mark Carney, Former Governor of the Bank of England
