Climate Action Accelerator Programme

Our six-week Climate Action Accelerator Programme is a free online training programme, designed for Scotland’s tourism and events businesses.

Delivered by the Climate Springboard team at Edinburgh Climate Change Institute, through small group workshops and one-to-one mentoring, you’ll receive practical guidance and tools to help you reduce emissions and create a long-term climate action plan.

The programme includes:

• 3 x online workshops
• 1 x peer-learning session
• one-to-one mentoring
• practical resources and templates

We help you to:

• measure and understand your carbon footprint
• reduce emissions and costs
• create a practical climate action plan to build resilience
• comply with sustainability requirements and legislation
• access funding opportunities
• learn from other tourism and events businesses

It's not just about carbon. By taking proactive climate action, you can cut energy bills, access new visitor markets, and stay ahead of regulations.
