A short, practical webinar for voluntary organisations managing buildings and spaces to consider climate readiness. A short, practical webinar for voluntary organisations looking to build confidence around climate‑ready facilities. The session shares realistic tips and learning to help you understand your options and take your next steps. Led by Chiara Fingland from the Growing Climate Confidence project.
Many voluntary organisations are thinking about how their buildings and spaces can cope with a changing climate, from rising energy costs to overheating, flooding and extreme weather. This short, practical session focuses on realistic steps towards more climate‑ready, resilient facilities, rooted in the everyday realities of managing voluntary sector buildings.
The webinar brings together recent learning and conversations from across the sector, including the SCVO Gathering, and turns this into clear, tangible top tips that organisations can use to build confidence and take their next steps.
The session also links to the Growing Climate Confidence project, a partnership project supporting voluntary organisations across Scotland to build knowledge, confidence and practical skills to respond to climate change in ways that work for them.
