keep scotland beautiful
We are your charity for Scotland's environment, with a vision for a clean,
green, sustainable Scotland. We're lucky to live in such a beautiful country and
we want to keep it that way. We have three goals - to combat climate change,
tackle litter and waste, and protect and enhance the places we live, work and
visit. We know that we can’t make a difference on our own, so we work with you
to enable positive change. We are faced with a climate emergency and we all need
to make changes now to protect the future of not just our country, but for the
whole planet. Scotland has an ambitious target to reach net-zero carbon
emissions by 2045, and we work to support this target through awards, education
and community engagement. Education is vital to help people make good decisions
for our environment. To help people understand the climate crisis, we run
Climate Emergency Training for various audiences including youth workers,
community groups and secondary schools – our Climate Ready Classrooms programme
is being delivered to half the secondary schools in Scotland. Our Eco-Schools
Scotland programme is part of the largest sustainable schools programme in the
world (run by Foundation for Environment Education or FEE) and enables schools
in Scotland to take action on climate change and Learning for Sustainability and
to attain the international Green Flag Award.
