Just Transition Communities Project

What is the NESCAN Just Transition Communities Project?

In November 2022 NESCAN Hub was awarded a grant to deliver a pilot program of community climate assemblies and other community engagement events in the North East of Scotland.

These processes will enable communities to explore what a Just Transition means for them. The NESCAN–Just Transition Communities Project brings together local strategic project partners: tsiMoray, University of Aberdeen Just Transition Lab(UoA JTL), Aberdeen for a Fairer World(AFW/ MDEC), Open Source, Go Deep Scotland, Community Chartered Network (CCN) and NESCAN Hub as well as other specialist service providers/allied organisations such as Envirolution and Ten Feet Tall among others. 

How to take action in your community

You, as an individual, can have a massive effect on creating grounds for change, both in your own community and in the wider world.

Working together we can build resilience and enable our communities to cope with climate change, and work together to mitigate it.

While governments and big businesses need to do more, local groups have an important role to play. Engaging with the hearts, heads and hands of the local community is crucial.

Organising a community event to address concerns and build resilience within your community is the first step. Below are some valuable resources, tools, kits and handbooks that can help you to understand how to begin your journey, plan the framework, seek guidance, and ultimately succeed.
