Introducing Scotland’s new
Climate Action Networks and Hubs

Following COP26, the Scottish Government established a network of Climate Action Hubs. This network will support a strategic regional approach to climate action. ECCAN is the new Climate Hub for Edinburgh and will provide knowledge, skills, and inspiration to community groups working in climate.

ECCAN wants to create a network of groups supporting each other to work towards a thriving, sustainable future for the city of Edinburgh, led by the city’s communities.

We need your input

Feedback on the network is always welcome: without it ECCAN won’t be able to address the needs of Edinburgh communities. You can contact Mark Dowey, Network Lead, at mark@eccan.scot.
