Scotland’s Climate Week\u00a0<\/strong><\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/h3>\n

Scotland’s Climate Week, an annual event that encourages individuals and communities to come together to show support for tackling the climate emergency, begins on 25 September and ends on 1 October<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This year is about taking action in the areas that have the most impact.<\/h4>\n

For example, emissions from car use and home heating are the biggest contributors to climate change in Scotland from individuals. By choosing more climate-friendly ways to travel and by improving our home heating, we can do good for the planet and it feels good for us too.<\/p>\n

CLIMATE CONVERSATION PACK<\/a><\/h4>\n
\n

\"\"The climate crisis is already significantly impacting countries around the world, including Scotland. Together we can work to reduce our emissions to net zero and limit any further damage. By starting just one conversation with your students or colleagues you can create a ripple effect of positive actions that could help make the change needed to reach net zero and save the planet.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Climate change can be a hard thing to talk about, so the Climate Conversation pack<\/a> outlines the important information you need to get started. It provides the opportunity to get to grips with all things climate change and identify topics and conversation starters to weave into your daily conversations, whether that\u2019s on social media, at work, school or with friends.<\/p>\n

Starting these conversations can help empower others and provide a sense of unity and community, but remember, it can be a challenging and emotional subject to bring up. No one should feel blamed, attacked, criticised or judged when talking about climate change. Always be mindful of where people are coming from \u2013 economically, societally, and emotionally.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
