These workshops will help us better understand barriers to community climate action and best support people to take climate actions. The workshops are about working with community groups to understand local priorities.”


The workshops offer residents an opportunity to identify opportunities for climate action, learn about successful climate initiatives, and provide access to climate literacy and other community resources.
Feedback will also help shape the Climate Fife Strategy 2024-2027.
Tatiana Zorina, Fife 's environmental strategy officer, said: “The first Climate Place workshop took place in October in South West Fife. Communities came together to debate pressing issues and share ideas to create more sustainable local places. Attendees left inspired to take action in tackling the climate emergency and reported a clearer understanding of the steps they could take to drive positive change. We look forward to meeting more local community groups and people interested in combatting climate change.”
