People who are part of, or wishing to enter a land or nature based industry, can apply for funding support to gain practical skills required to respond to the climate change challenge.

A new report has outlined future options for Scotland’s seaweed industry.

Sustainability of the sector is key to any future development, with harvesting of some kelp species already banned.

The global seaweed industry is estimated to be worth €8.1 billion per year, with Asia dominating the cultivated seaweed industry.

The Scottish Government is supporting the development of a network of regional community climate action hubs, to provide a strategic regional approach to climate change action. The network of regional hubs will be spread across Scotland and could help groups develop local plans, take up community funding opportunities, facilitate networking and ensure a joined-up approach is being taken to tackling climate change at a regional level.
