Event Details
Make Polluters Pay Action Day is on 23rd September and campaigners across Scotland and the UK will be playing their part
in highlighting the injustice that is the climate crisis, and the need to make polluters pay for climate induced loss and damage.
Generally, the most severe impacts of climate change are being experienced by low-income countries: those which have
contributed the least to the climate crisis and are least equipped to mitigate its effects. Often the losses these countries experience cannot be recovered, for example loss of life or cultural sites. Damage, such as to houses and infrastructure, can be repaired but this costs money, with those most affected expected to foot the bill. This is loss and damage from climate change.
This is your opportunity to do something creative to get the attention of your community, local media, or local policy makers. You could for example, organise a pilgrimage, a craftivism workshop, a discussion event, or something else entirely! There are some helpful guides with advice on how to organise an action MPP Action Day (makepolluterspay.co.uk) and a blog about getting involved in Scotland.
We also feel that this an important moment to contact Scottish policymakers therefore on behalf of Stop Climate Chaos Scotland members, Christian aid has put together this guide featuring lots of ways you can call on decision makers to act – please add your voice and help us to raise awareness of this vital issue.
It is time to Make Polluters Pay! If you have questions or want some advice on getting involved, please contact Lucy le Roux at Christian Aid at [email protected]

What is this event about?
Research shows that most people are concerned about the climate and nature crises, believe action is important and that they want to help. So why is it so hard to get people involved in community climate action projects?
In this training you will discover how to design your project to pass three essential tests: 1) Does it connect with people emotionally? 2) Does it fit with people’s ideas of what makes sense? 3) Is it actually do-able with their skills, resources etc?
Who is delivering the training?
The training is based on Shifting Normal, the guide to designing community climate action projects, written by the trainer, Osbert Lancaster, for the Scottish Government.
Osbert has supported people and groups leading community climate action for over twenty years, and is a former member of the Climate Challenge Fund grants panel. He is director of Realise Earth and host of the Leadership for Sustainability podcast.
Please note spaces are limited so booking is required.

Event Details
In this interactive workshop we’ll be taking a look at how cars impact on community life. We provide examples of how private vehicles impact on social connections, perceptions of safety, health and how children and young people move around their local areas.
There will be plenty of opportunity for discussion around these issues – and for you to think about how some of these issues might impact your own local community, or the communities you work in.
We’ll finish with some of the ways we can help support you to take action in your community.
Please let us know if you have any accessibility requirements and we will do our best to accommodate these before, during and after the session.
The session will be held on Microsoft Teams. A link will be sent to you when you register.
This event is the final installment of our three-part Community and Active Travel series:
