About this Event

What is it?

Sniffer is offering a one-day Climate Resilience Training workshop for third sector organisations, hosted by Borders Community Action in partnership with SBCAN (Scottish Borders Climate Action Network) and SCVO's Growing Climate Confidence programme. This session is open to community groups, charities and social enterprises operating and based in the Scottish Borders. The session will run from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM, with lunch provided.

This training aims to boost climate resilience across Scotland’s voluntary organisations.

It's designed to provide the tools and knowledge needed to tackle both current and future impacts of climate change.

The day will include an introduction to climate resilience, hands-on exercises, and opportunities for participants to exchange knowledge and experiences.

Why participate?

Organisations face increasing risks from climate-related events like flooding, heatwaves, and storms. This training will help your voluntary organisation to build resilience and learn how to cope with the impacts of climate change.

Addressing climate change may seem like a massive challenge – it is complex and it isn’t easy to know where to start. But it is both crucial and possible to build resilience and adapt to the changing climate whilst tackling other important issues in your community.

By the end of the training, you will have:

A checklist of climate risks relevant to your organisation
Identified potential adaptation actions to make your organisation more climate resilient
