SCOTLAND | Community Leaders Climate Change Training
LOCATION
Virtual - Hosted on Zoom
We invited community leaders (i.e. faith groups, community centres, youth groups, cultural organisations, and educators) across all UK regions to join us in a free online training session.
The purpose of this 90-minute training session was to support understanding of climate change and provide the knowledge and confidence to talk about climate change within local communities. The training session covered the science of climate change, including how changes in our polar regions are impacting the wider world, and the action that governments are taking to tackle the problem.
Community leaders had the chance to learn and see examples of how climate change impacts their region. There was an opportunity to share and discuss local experiences, learn from peers, and understand how best to communicate this critical topic more widely.
The Royal Meteorological Society delivered the training in partnership with the British Antarctic Survey thanks to funding awarded by Natural Environmental Research Council (part of UK Research & Innovation) through its Growing Roots public engagement funding opportunity.
Training sessions took place between October 2022 and February 2023 and had a capacity of 20 individuals per session (maximum of two attendees per organisation per training session, or five across the whole series).
