Engaging, educating and empowering young people in Scotland to take action on climate change. https://linktr.ee/2050climategroup

We work with young people across the country, engaging, educating, and empowering them to lead the transformation of Scotland into a low carbon country. Our aim is to inspire young people to get involved not only in the 2050 Group, but in the design of future policy in Scotland, becoming catalysts for change to ensure a sustainable future for the country beyond the year 2050.

When was the last time you went on a field trip? 🤔

As part of the Climate Action Leadership Programme (CALP), our participants have the option to attend 3 experiential learning day trips. These trips cover a range of topics and locations, giving participants real-life experience in focused areas of climate action. The first took place this Saturday at Whitelee Windfarm, with a climate cafe at The Pyramid at Anderston.

The day started with everyone boarding our electric-powered bus from Doigs of Glasgow and heading to Whitelee. Once there, we switched to the on-site tour bus and headed off around the site with our tour guide, Mark. We've had Mark as our guide for 4 years in a row, ever since our first pilot field trip in 2023. After the general information, participants asked Mark lots of questions and even got out to touch the wind turbines, talk about getting up close and personal!

After the tour, we spent a short time at the visitor centre before hopping back on our electric bus and heading to a climate cafe at The Pyramid at Anderston, where, through prompted discussions, participants reflected on what they learned in a relaxed atmosphere.

Huge thanks to everyone who attended the field trip! All of CALP is created and delivered by young people for young people, and this trip was primarily planned and facilitated by our volunteers Tiya Desai, Nastya Gavrilova, Carla De Brito, James Connelly, Thomas Hewitt, Cody Campbell and our Operations Lead, Alyson MacKay. A lot of work goes into delivering our programme behind the scenes, and we are so pleased with how the first three trips have gone for this year's cohort!

This year’s programme was made possible thanks to players. The National Lottery Community Action Fund, generously funded staff costs, venues, catering, and more, so we could all gather in-person to learn, build community, and take action for a just and sustainable future.

Saturday 3rd was our first in-person module for this year's Climate Action Leadership Programme (CALP)!🤩

In the Keynote session with Caitlin Turner, we learnt about blue carbon ecosystems and how our seas are combating climate change. She also encouraged us to jump at opportunities when we see something that inspires us, or we feel strongly about, because it can bring about many positive changes.

The biggest part of the day was, of course, our participants networking and meeting their action group members. Over the next 6 months, our participants will create and deliver their own climate action based on their passion and develop their skills along the way. Stay tuned to find out what our participation comes up with! 👀

In the afternoon, our team hosted three breakout sessions where participants explored intersectionality, the power of storytelling for action, and climate science.

We ended the day with a Craftivism session exploring how we can use creativity to inspire conversations around social change. Finally, for those who wanted to keep the conversations going, we ended with an informal social to wind down.

This year’s programme was made possible thanks to players. The National Lottery Community Fund, through the Community Action Fund, generously funded staff costs, venues, catering, and more, so we could all gather in-person to learn, build community, and take action for a just and sustainable future.

We are so grateful for the time and effort of the volunteers and staff who made this module and the wider Climate Action Leadership Programme (CALP) possible! Of course, we also want to thank our participants for bringing their best selves to the module and making CALP what it is!

Additional thanks to Blue Skye Catering, who kept us well fed with an all-veggie lunch. To Graham Richardson, who captured and edited the all-important core content, which will be available for any participant unable to attend to catch up/any to rewatch. Last but not least, to MyEdinburgh, the community 2050 Climate Group is proud to be part of, an extra shout-out to Valour Games for adjusting their schedule for us to use the venue.

The 1st module of this year's Climate Action Leadership Programme (CALP) takes place in Edinburgh this Saturday!

We're so ready to meet participants in person and kick off the programme. Every in-person module features a keynote guest speaker; this year, we're thrilled to have Caitlin Turner!

Caitlin is an award-winning marine biologist and conservationist, passionate about ensuring inclusive and accessible conservation efforts and policymaking. Using her personal experience as a young carer from a low-income background, Caitlin works to break down barriers to young people accessing blue spaces and conservation.

Caitlin took part in the previous leadership programme we ran, the Young Leaders Development Programme (YLDP), and has been a guest speaker for CALP before. Last year, Caitlin was the keynote speaker for module 1 and received amazing feedback, so we are especially excited to welcome her back for this year's cohort.

Huge thanks to our funders for this module and several elements of CALP, The National Lottery Community Fund
