Join Us for a Week of Inspiration, Action and Community
From 28 September to 5 October 2026, we’re hosting a range of inspiring events across the islands that explore sustainability, community resilience and practical action, helping us to protect our communities from a changing climate.
Whether you’re a local resident, business owner, student, volunteer, crofter, land manager or just interested in the future of island life, Outer Hebrides Climate Week offers an opportunity to learn, share ideas, meet like-minded people and discover how we can make a positive difference in our communities.
Most importantly, Climate Week is about people. It’s about celebrating the fantastic work already happening across our islands while creating space for conversations about how we can build a resilient future together.
All events are free to attend, but booking is essential. More events, such as community walks, cycles and markets, are available on our website.
