Hosted at ECCI
Creative Carbon Scotland and partners
Climate Beacons for COP26 is a large-scale project that ECCI has been running alongside Creative Carbon Scotland and partners since June 2021.
The project brings together the expertise and resources of cultural and environmental organisations in seven locations around Scotland to run creative and locally relevant public engagement projects in the lead-up to and following on from the COP26 climate conference that took place in Glasgow in November 2021.
These two showcase events will be a chance to hear from people involved in the 7 Climate Beacons about their experiences so far and learn how you might take on similar approaches yourself. Each event will focus on a different aspect of the project:
