Scotland’s Climate Week 2025 runs from 29th September to the 5th October 2025 and is all about celebrating climate action and inspiring people across the country to do more.

What is Scotland’s Climate Week?

Scotland’s Climate Week is a national campaign that encourages climate conversations, showcases positive examples of change, and provides resources to help people and organisations take action.

This week is designed to:

• Celebrate success – highlight the projects, businesses and communities already making a difference.
• Share resources – via toolkits, graphics and case studies to help more people get involved.
• Inspire change – show what works in practice and encourage others to follow.

Why Scotland’s Climate Week Matters

Climate change is one of the biggest challenges we face, but it’s also an opportunity to build healthier, fairer communities. Scotland has set a legally binding goal to reach net zero by 2045. That means reducing emissions across energy, transport, food, and housing.

Scotland’s Climate Week 2025 is a chance to:

• Talk about climate action in a positive, hopeful way.
• Share what’s already working in Scotland.
• Encourage behaviour change at home, in workplaces and in schools.

How to Get Involved in Scotland’s Climate Week 2025

There are lots of ways to take part in Scotland’s Climate Week 2025:

1. Use the Climate Week Toolkit

The Climate Week Toolkit includes posters, graphics, social media content and email templates. It’s free to use and helps organisations spread the word.

2. Share Your Story

Show what you or your group are already doing: whether that’s reducing waste, switching to active travel, or supporting local food. Sharing small steps can inspire others.

3. Join a Local Event

Many communities are running events during Climate Week. Look out for activities near you through local Climate Action Hubs or community groups.

4. Talk About Climate at Work

Encourage your workplace to take part – maybe by reviewing energy use, encouraging cycling to work, or even running a lunch-and-learn on sustainability.

5. Support Climate Education

Schools and teachers can access resources and live lessons to bring climate action into classrooms. Young people are a powerful voice for change.

Examples of Climate Action in Scotland

Here are some recent successes that show what’s possible:

• Circular Communities Scotland has diverted over 32,000 tonnes from landfill! Amazing!
• Colleges and universities are sharing “Stories for Change,” from rewilding campuses to cutting carbon in supply chains.

These examples highlight that climate action is already happening, and that every contribution matters.

Final Thoughts

Scotland’s Climate Week 2025 is more than just a campaign, it’s an invitation to take part in building a fairer, greener future. Whether you start small at home or get involved with your workplace or community, your actions can help Scotland reach its net zero goals.

This September, join the conversation, share your story, and take one step further towards a sustainable Scotland. Find out more at Net Zero Nation – Scotland’s Climate Week.
