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.
