Abstract
“This transition will abandon no community.” These were the words of First Minister John Swinney, during a speech given on climate action delivered at Glasgow Botanic Gardens on Wednesday 19 February 2025. In fact, the importance of community-led and community supported climate action was mentioned more than ten times throughout the speech.
Communities are increasingly being seen as important leaders in climate action initiatives and climate policy creation in Scotland and around the world. Words like collaboration, co-creation, and participation are becoming a regular part of the rhetoric around the response to the climate crisis and other socio-environmental issues.
