About the East Dunbartonshire Climate Action Hub

The East Dunbartonshire Climate Action Hub was established in December 2024, driven by a shared vision to create a sustainable and climate-resilient future for our community.

As one of 24 Scottish Government-funded Climate Action Hubs across the nation, we play a crucial role in supporting local initiatives and empowering residents to take meaningful climate action right here in East Dunbartonshire. We are dedicated to fostering collaboration, providing resources, and driving positive change to address the climate emergency.
