Overview

Join SCVO's Growing Climate Confidence community and find out how to boost the resilience of your organisation. Understand how to adapt to climate change and explore how this can support delivery of your mission.

This online workshop will explore how climate change impacts, poverty, and inequality are deeply linked, and what actions can be taken to both build resilience to climate impacts, and address the drivers of poverty and inequality in communities across Scotland.

Overall aim

Organisations face increasing risks from climate-related events like flooding, heatwaves, and storms. This training will help your voluntary organisation to build resilience and learn how to cope with the impacts of climate change.

Addressing climate change may seem like a massive challenge - it is complex and it isn’t easy to know where to start. But it is both crucial and possible to build resilience and adapt to the changing climate whilst tackling other important issues in your community.

By the end of this workshop, you will have:

• A checklist of climate risks relevant to your organisation and place
• Identified potential adaptation actions to make your organisation more climate resilient and address issues of poverty and inequality
• Explored opportunities to support people in your community to build resilience to climate change impacts
