Gunsgreen prepares a climate change plan

Gunsgreen has partnered with Visit Scotland and Climate Springboard to participate in a net zero support programme for tourism and events businesses in Scotland.

The Climate Action Accelerator helps companies to take low-cost and practical actions to reduce their carbon emissions.

But it’s not just about carbon: making a climate action plan can help tourism businesses cut energy bills, attract new visitors, access grants, and prepare for extreme weather.

The online programme is delivered by the Climate Springboard team at Edinburgh Climate Change Institute (ECCI), who have supported over 300 businesses to date.

It includes four workshops over six weeks. Each business will leave with:

• a carbon footprint, calculated in-house
• a climate action plan
• immediate actions to start reducing emissions, cutting costs and improving resilience
• access to a new network of like-minded businesses on the same journey
