Scotland is transitioning to net zero emissions for the benefit of our environment, our people, and our prosperity. Local communities are key to this transition, embracing new ways of service provision, raising awareness of impacts and promoting positive changes.
This case study film features three community groups from across rural and island Scotland and shows how each group is undertaking Net Zero and Climate Action projects utilising Community Led Local Development (CLLD) funding, part of the Scottish Government’s Rural Development Programme.
- Arran Eco Savvy – Grant of £70,000 to support their zero waste cafe and domestic energy projects
- Ullapool Sea Savers – Grant of £5,000 to undertake essential maintenance of their accessible boat and to expand their communications
