Event Details
In July 2022, the Edinburgh Climate Action Network (ECAN) held its first event and kick-started a conversation about our shared vision for a “living city,” and the need for more joined-up thinking and action to make this vision happen.
This second ECAN event will build on the discussions that were started in July, create new and useful connections, and start building a network which can contribute towards the goals set out in these discussions.
Join us at the Grassmarket Community Project for a relaxed evening of food and drink, provided by their award-winning social enterprise cafe. Together we will celebrate what’s already happening across Edinburgh, create a map of our vision for a living city, and plan how a community network will support communities to make that future happen.
By coming to this event you will have the opportunity to:
- See an overview of community climate action happening all across Edinburgh
- Create useful partnerships and collaborations with like-minded groups
- Define ECAN’s priorities and activities, and how the network should be organised and led
- Be encouraged and inspired! Climate action is tough, and reminding ourselves that we are not working alone is essential.
Everyone is welcome to attend this event, whether you are an individual, you come from a community group, or from a different kind of organisation which would like to engage with and support community climate action. You do not have to represent a climate-focused group to attend this event. You only have to want a fairer, greener future for Edinburgh. In the interest of having a balance of all perspectives in the room, we ask that a maximum of 2 people from each group attends.
Financial support for transport and childcare are available for those who require it. Please specify if you need this in the registration form.

Event Details
Are you concerned about climate change but not sure how urgent it is and how you can make a difference? Join in for a friendly, facilitated discussion to explore these questions.
Having quality conversations about climate change is one of the most effective things we can do to stop it.
We are hosting an introductory ‘Climate for Change’ conversation 22 February, 10am – 12:30pm. Open to all. Online.
The concept of SCCAN’s ‘Climate for Change’ conversations for newcomers is a bit like a Tupperware party, where – instead of being sold plastic boxes – an idea is communicated: how we can take action on climate change.
We draw on concerns we all have in the session – and allow space to address them and to let them grow into action.
Our trained facilitators understand we need more such conversations in Scotland and we’re hosting one online!
Please be on time (and stay until the end) so our volunteer facilitators can support a distraction-free conversation with time to catch up after, and so they don’t have to give up more of their time than they already are!
There’s no cost to attend the session. We will ask people to consider hosting their own ‘party’ – and build a movement of people who understand what needs to be done and what they can do!
Most Scots are concerned about climate change, but are uncertain / overwhelmed and unsure how to respond. Social research shows that through conversations with people we trust we make sense of confusing information and decide what to do about it.
Find out more about the Climate for Change Programme here: https://sccan.scot/climate-for-change/
The content isn’t really suitable for children, so this is an adult only event!
If you want to support our work but can’t come, please join SCCAN: https://sccan.scot/join/
