Everyone can take action
Not all actions have the same impact on climate change. Driving less and installing heat pumps make the biggest difference. But wherever you are right now, you can take action – and when we all make changes together, they add up to something powerful.
Start where you can
On the move
43% of car journeys are under 5km. Active travel improves health and cuts emissions.
At home
Even more of our neighbours are making their home energy cleaner and more efficient.
What we use
Minimising our impact through what we buy and eat, and maximising how we support nature.
Available help
The Scottish Government is making it easier to take climate action.
People across Scotland are taking action
A third of the emissions reductions needed to reach net zero are dependent on household choices. The good news? Thousands are already taking action:
- Active travel prevents 4,000+ serious health conditions and saves the NHS £50 million a year.
- Under-22s have taken 200 million free bus journeys.
- 700+ community projects supported by Scotland’s Climate Action Hubs.
