Rising to the Climate Challenge: a mythbusting toolkit for everyone

Do you ever wish there was a simple booklet about climate change and community action targeted at people in Scotland? Well, now there is. Our 16-page climate mythbuster has met with a great response from people, who have been ordering it in piles from our office to distribute to their friends, neighbours and colleagues. You can download it here or contact us at the office if you’d like to receive a pack to distribute in your neighbourhood.

This is a pack of different resources about people, power and participation. These documents give practical help on how communities can mobilise to take action on the issues affecting them.

A Case Study of our work with the Association of Agroforestry Farmers in the Dominican Republic

In the late 1990s we worked with agroforestry farmers in the Dominican Republic who were working together to build resilient communities after Hurricane Georges. The project was very successful as an example of a partnership between an organisation in Scotland and community action in the Dominican Republic. A case study of this work is available here in Spanish and English.
