There are many events taking place across Edinburgh and Scotland to showcase our green innovation, support businesses on their transition to net-zero and highlight the city’s ambitious climate targets.

Below, you can find a list of events from our stakeholders and partners. 

GROWING CLIMATE CONFIDENCE: ClimatACTical GAME LAUNCH


20/05/2026

How does climate action fit into the day‑to‑day reality of third sector work? Join us for a short, interactive lunchtime session marking the launch of ClimatACTical, a new gamified learning resource that helps organisations explore climate action in a practical and manageable way.

Designed for voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations, ClimatACTical is a facilitated game that creates space to step back from constant operational pressure and explore how climate resilience connects to organisational mission, operations, and long‑term sustainability.


BUSINESS NETWORKING BREAKFAST: ESG REPORTING

28/05/2026

This informal networking event offers businesses of all sizes the opportunity to connect, explore collaborations and hear why sustainability reporting is becoming a core part of modern business. With the recent finalisation of the UK Sustainability Reporting Standards, organisations are facing a shift from voluntary activity to more structured and transparent disclosures.

Attendees can network over coffee and pastries while gaining insight into ESG reporting and building new connections. Ticket sales also support ongoing work to help communities develop skills and opportunities to live more sustainably.

ClimatACTical Pop-up & Play (Edinburgh)

10/06/2026

Following the online launch of ClimatACTical, at this Pop-up and Play session you’ll get a taster of the game and learn how it can be used in staff development or team sessions. You’ll leave with clear next steps on how to print and play, borrow a kit, or book a hosted session.

This session will offer the chance to:

  • Have a go at the game yourself
  • Share learning with other organisations
  • Make connections through a facilitated activity

This Pop-up & Play session is hosted by Verture – the climate resilience charity, who have been co-developers on this project as part of SCVO’s Growing Climate Confidence programme.
