Improving Lives Through Local Action
Community projects across Scotland aimed at improving lives through local climate action are set to benefit from a share of £6 million Scottish Government funding.
As part of this, the Angus Hub is set to benefit from an injection of £171,946 in support.
Scotland’s nationwide network for Climate Action Hubs encourage and support climate action unique to their own areas from flood mitigation, repair shops and local energy generation to food growing and tree planting.
There is now a Hub covering every area in Scotland, fulfilling a previous Programme for Government commitment to ensure people are empowered to act on climate in their own neighbourhoods.
A total of 24 hubs have been set up, with the Angus Hub backing numerous projects across the county which Graeme has visited and highlighted – including Sustainable Kirriemuir, Murton Trust and Hope Garden.
We are committed to reaching net zero in a way that's fair, inclusive and supports local communities.

Tackling climate change is our collective responsibility and will require collaborative action at all levels. We must also share in the economic and health benefits that protecting our planet for future generations will bring.
ACTING NET ZERO SECRETARY, GILLIAN MARTIN
Communities are uniquely placed to play a critical role in shaping and driving forward the transition to low carbon and climate resilient living and we want to empower people to take action in their neighbourhoods that’s right for them.
That is why we are proud to continue to support our hugely successful framework of regional climate hubs, which provide a vehicle for communities to come together and engage in collective grassroots action.
