Take this tour of the Northern Highlands on public transport. Take the challenge, and receive a passport to the North Highland Way. In an attempt to keep vehicles off the busy north coast, and working with The Highland Council on the North Highland Way for over 20 years, we challenge you to take public transport from Inverness to Durness and across the north coast to John o Groats using public transport. There is no train, so will need to be the bus, walk, mountain bike or horse riding.

Event Details
The transition to a zero carbon economy requires a transformation in jobs in the energy, construction and insulation sectors, and many more people skilled in sustainability issues. Already there are problems finding enough skilled people to start the transition. Three speakers will help you understand where Scotland is on the journey to train people for those jobs. Speakers are
Lorna Slater, MSP, Minister for Green Skills, Circular Economy and Biodiversity
Allison Carrington, Skills Development College
Greg Steel, Borders College.
Each will talk for about 15 minutes and then there will be chance for the audience to ask questions.
So please come along in person or online and find out more.

What would a sustainable retrofit of neighbourhoods across Scotland look like, during the climate and housing crises? At this upcoming Green Tease explore the overlap between housing struggles and climate breakdown with artists, activists, architects and sustainability practitioners.
Together we will discuss how art and culture can support a just transition that can transform our homes, streets and schemes, in an environmentally and socially sustainable way. As bell hooks said: ‘The function of art is to do more than tell it like it is – it’s to imagine what is possible.’
Co-created by Creative Carbon Scotland and Scott McAulay from the Anthropocene Architecture School, we invite you to imagine how we might thrive together if our neighbourhoods were prepared for the changing climate. Through discussions, and exhibitions we invite you to reimagine what it means to ‘retrofit’, from individual homes to entire communities, reflecting upon our relationships to home and place.
This Green Tease will be an afternoon of coming together to explore the role of art and culture in shaping the future, and the role of those retrofitting homes, in practically getting us there. The tools to build sustainable, low-energy homes and to retrofit existing ones to standards fit for a climate emergency already exist – such buildings becoming the norm would both change and save lives. But without societal transformation, they will only remain possibilities.
Programme:
1.00pm: Welcome and introduction: why our built environment matters during the climate crisis, and the role it could play in Scotland’s Just Transition.
1.30pm: Reimagining retrofit workshop. Connecting home to the climate crisis and reimagining what it means ‘to retrofit’ at scales beyond individual homes with ACAN Scotland, BE Changemakers, Imagine If CIC & the Architecture Fringe.
2.30pm: Break with coffee and tea
2.45pm: Exhibition, reflection and networking time. Chance to watch the film Dampbusters by Winnie Herbstein which explores the past, present and future of community organising in Glasgow, and to explore exhibition material on housing from Imagine If CIC and the Wyndford exhibition, co-created by students from Glasgow School of Art with the residents who live there.
3.30pm: Drawing and willow workshop on imagining a different housing future
4.45pm: Wrapping up and thank you!

Collaborator
Scott McAulay is a Glaswegian climate and spatial justice activist, a founding member of ACAN Scotland, a Co-Producer of the Architecture Fringe, and a Part 2 Architectural Assistant at Architype – one of the U.K.’s leading sustainable architecture studios, that specialises in Passivhaus-led and low carbon design. His work with the Anthropocene Architecture School has created spaces for thousands of people to come together and learn about the climate solutions and opportunities for a Just Transition in our built environments, and generated international impacts in architectural education – teaching widely across the U.K., Turtle Island, and mainland Europe, and beyond. In 2023 so far,
Scott has undertaken a residency during Architecture is Climate at Central St Martins – exploring the theme of Unlearning Powerlessness, contributed to European Sustainable Energy Week 2023 in Brussels on the invitation of the Architects Council of Europe, and contributed to an upcoming anthology sharing outcomes of 2021’s School of Re-Construction. Scott supports a variety of climate justice, and community causes across Scotland, is an active member of Living Rent — Scotland’s tenants’ union. and is currently co-creating Retrofit Reimagined 2023 with partners across the U.K.
About the Anthropocene Architecture School
The Anthropocene Architecture School is an un/learning infrastructure with activist roots and ethos: fusing architectural education with Climate Literacy, explorations of Agency, Entanglement, Spatial Justice, and the Radical Imagination. Through its Crisis Studios, participatory workshops, talks, peoples’ assemblies, university lectures and dozens of events, it has created spaces for thousands of people, within and outwith traditional schools of architecture, to learn about where construction intersects with the climate crisis, what is already possible, and invited many more to make time to imagine the future otherwise. You can access AAS resources here, find its library here, and support its work into the future here.

Event Details
The first ever EMEN Environment Conference is coming to Glasgow!
The event takes place on Thursday 12th October 2023, at Trades Hall. The event will run from 10am to 5pm.
This is the first time we have hosted an autumn conference and will be delighted if you were able to attend. Our key themes for 2023 are energy (with a focus on heating buildings), transport (with a focus on cycling), and how we can mobilise community climate action. We view all of these themes through the lens of a Just Transition, and how we can create a fairer, greener and more prosperous Scotland for all.
Join us to hear from expert speakers, grassroots activists, academics, and politicians – and have your voice heard, as we seek to build a fairer, cleaner, greener Scotland.
EMEN – the Ethnic Minority Environmental Network – is facilitated by CEMVO Scotland, and funded by the Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust.

Event Information
This event is your opportunity to have your say on Fife’s first Local Heat & Energy Efficiency Strategy (LHEES).
Through facilitated discussion attendees will share their feedback on the strategy. Feedback will be used to write a response to the consultation on behalf of Fife Communities Climate Action Network.
We will also make the response available for download on the FCCAN website so others can add to it and submit their own response.
By taking part in this event you will be helping the Council meet its 2045 Net Zero target, and help Fife be climate friendly, climate ready, and climate just by 2045.
The Strategy
The Local Heat & Energy Efficiency Strategy and accompanying 5-year delivery plan detail Fife Council’s approach to improve the energy efficiency and decarbonise heat sources of Fife buildings in a climate friendly, ready, and just manner.
Improving Fife’s buildings is a core part of the energy transition to Net Zero by 2045 and tackling the climate emergency. To achieve this means all building owners in Fife will need to do their part to cut building emissions and improve sustainability. The LHEES strategy details how the Fife Council area will approach this challenge.
Fife Council is seeking your feedback on:
• the vision of this strategy,
• their identified priorities,
• the scope of the high-level delivery plan, and
• any further actions we should include when developing our detailed delivery plan.
Take Part
The event is taking place online. A Zoom link will be included in the order confirmation and via email the day before the event.
To get the most from this event and to be able to effectively provide feedback, participants should read the Local Heat and Energy Efficiency Strategy beforehand and consider the consultation questions.
