Hello!
Thank you for
stopping by...
We are a Community Climate Hub funded by the Scottish Government and we are here to help the people and nature of ANGUS thrive.
We will do this by CONNECTING & SHARING knowledge and skills as well as FUNDING & DEVELOPING projects.
ABOUT US
"Imagine ANGUS as 842 square miles of possibility"
Climate change is personal.
Hundreds of families in Angus were flooded by Storm Babet in 2023. These impacts live on in fractured communities, unsettled insurance claims, abandoned homes, unrepaired roads, damaged bridges, flattened forests and rotted crops. Weather chaos keeps coming. The real costs of climate change in lives, livelihoods and infrastructure keeps rising. Every week you pay the price, in food prices, energy bills, insurance costs, car repairs. The climate crisis is the cost of living crisis.
Maybe this feels too big and difficult to deal with. You are not alone. The ANGUS CLIMATE HUB is here to help people like you work together to find a more positive road ahead.
WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU, YOUR COMMUNITY & ANGUS?
It’s not just the climate that’s unstable. We live in a polycrisis; climate, nature, health, employment and a community of young people switched off from school. When we support sustained, connected action on food, energy, transport and nature, we deliver for our people and our patch of the planet. This is justice for everyone in our community who may feel overlooked. If we embrace this change it will transform our health, mental wellbeing and community resilience for decades to come.
What transformation delivers:
-
Skills and jobs - in land management, food growing and eating well, nature restoration.
-
Better health - time in nature, growing food and eating well, walking and cycling all reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes and dementia.
-
Justice - climate impacts hit hardest on those with the least, by building local resilience we support fairer and safer local living for all.
-
Community led solutions - local people have a voice and shape things that matter to them here in Angus.
