Mission Statement

Climate Hebrides CIC exists to promote collaboration and action across the islands on climate change. We bring people together: communities, businesses and agencies to tackle the greatest threat to our islands.

About Us

Who are we?

Climate Hebrides was set up to lead on climate action across the Outer Hebrides. We were formed as a ‘doing body’, accountable to the Community Planning Partnership’s Climate Change Group, after a need for collaboration and a whole-community approach to climate action was identified.

We focus on projects that bring people together to make a real difference. Our goal is to create positive change for all communities and individuals across the Outer Hebrides, making it easy for everyone to protect our islands.

Companies House No.: SC733021

Our Partners

We work with a range of partners to effect positive outcomes for people in the islands. We raise awareness in the community, working with community groups, businesses, land trusts, and individuals who wish to become part of the solution to climate change. 

We are all about collaboration and action. 

We develop planning and action on climate change at all levels for our islands. Our partners in the Climate Change Group of the Community Planning Partnership include statutory agencies such as Comhairle nan Eilean Siar, SEPA, NatureScot, and NHS Western Isles, as well as community members such as Community Land Outer Hebrides. 

Our community partners play a fundamental role through the Outer Hebrides Climate Hub.
