Scottish climate action hubs: independent evaluation

A report of an independent evaluation of the climate action hubs in the Northeast of Scotland and the Highlands, Orkney and Shetland carried out by CAG Consultants.


Improving regional collaboration

  • Build stronger relationships with local authorities and other partners.
  • Clearly define roles and responsibilities across the region and communicate these roles to stakeholders.
  • Engage with different regional partners and organisations to share messages and showcase projects (e.g. National Park Authorities).
  • Support the development of a regional vision and plan for a just transition that can align the efforts of different stakeholders and secure long-term funding.
  • Increase efforts to coordinate community and stakeholder input into national policy.
  • Work with other hubs to share best practices, resources, and expertise, and to leverage the lessons learned from different contexts and projects.

Addressing risks

  • Extend annual funding to multi-year budget to assist with long term planning and job security.
  • Identify funding sources and business models that do not rely solely on the Scottish Government
