Interested to learn how your community can use greenspaces and nature-based projects to respond to climate change?
Join us for an inspiring session exploring how community groups across Lanarkshire are building climate resilience through local environmental action, and how you can get involved.
This session will share learnings from the Climate Ready Places grant programme, providing practical examples, ideas and support for community groups interested in biodiversity, tree planting, flood resilience and community adaptation projects.
Agenda
- Climate Adaptation – what is it and what role do community greenspaces play?
- Climate Ready Place Grant – learnings from the programme and practical examples of local adaptation projects including biodiversity, tree planting and flood resilience initiatives
- Case Study: Viewpark Conservation Group (VCG)
Hear about their Climate Ready Places project; how the climate adaptation workshop resulted in a ‘Bee Highway’ across Viewpark.
- Lanarkshire Seed Savers Network - learn about the project, how it is helping to support climate resilient food growing across Lanarkshire, and how you can get involved
- Upcoming opportunities to get involved with climate adaptation and community resilience work across Lanarkshire
- Details on support available from Lanarkshire Climate Action Hub
This is an informal and friendly session with opportunities to ask questions, share ideas and hear directly from groups delivering adaptation projects in their communities.
The session is aimed at any Lanarkshire-based groups interested in using local greenspaces to increase climate resilience and support biodiversity, for example: community groups, residents’ associations, environmental groups, community gardeners and development trusts.
