Dundee Climate Action Network

At the Forum we often avoid overt politics, but we believe it's basic human decency to say that #BlackLivesMattter and that #racism is wrong. As allies, we want to learn and grow. If you know of good resources or great things going on in #Stobswell we'd love to hear about it.

Some fantastic carbon & community outcomes from 2018-20 #ClimateChallengeFund work of the #GateChurchCarbonSavingProject in Dundee. Watch the short video and be inspired. tinyurl.com/y8s2x4d9 @KSBScotland @ScotGovClimate @DundeeCAN @sust_dundee @DundeeCouncil

@StobswellForum Always thought is was supposed to be Stobbie, but might just start permanently spelling it with a bee emoji now

Question of the day. When you shorten #Stobswell, how do you #spell it? Stobie? Stoabie?? Stobbie?!? Stow🐝?!!? StoBe?!?!? These are the important issues 😅 We need your answers!

On this #ValentinesDay2020 let's declare our love to #OurPlanet 🌍💚 🌳To our forests, 🌊our oceans, 🌿our nature, 🍁our seasons and to all those things we ❤️ and stand to lose due to #ClimateChange Let's protect and cherish the wonderful place we call home! #ClimateAction

We're a little late for #UKPunDay but we think it's worth it 😄 With our eyes on #sustainability, we're interested in reducing #plasticwaste in the area. Would people be interested in a reusable cup to see them through #Stobfest2020 and beyond?

"80% of our carbon footprint comes from the products and materials we consume. We need to go beyond net-zero to combat the climate crisis by tackling our huge consumption habit." @IainGulland addressing the public sector @RBS Sustainability Conference #circulareconomy #COP26

Things are getting exciting as we look forward to #Stobfest2020. Our #wellbeing day is sure to be a highlight in beautiful Baxter Park on Saturday 9 May. There are still a few spots for stalls, activities, classes etc 🏃‍♀️⚽️🧘‍♀️🕺forms.gle/BbV9m79DP75iov… if you want to take part 😄

This is amazing. How it should be.

Wetlands 🦩🌱🦇 nurture a great diversity of life purify 💧 protect us against floods & droughts absorb CO2 & help us adapt to #ClimateChange But they’re disappearing 3x faster than forests. It‘s time we value this vital part of our 🌍 #WetlandsDay #WetlandBiodiversityMatters

Gender-based violence and the #ClimateCrisis are interconnected. In the Pacific Islands, this is a tangible and haunting reality. #EndGBV #EndVAW bit.ly/2KKtJeJ
