Scotland is one of the leading nations in climate change policy.Over a decade ago, one of the largest coalitions the nation has ever seen formed to demand tougher targets on climate from their leaders. This powerful movement spurred Scotland into action, and a ripple of positive change echoed out across the country, touching everything from the biggest companies to the smallest communities.
This documentary, presented by Royal Scottish Geographical Society, charts that journey to date, narrated by individuals from across the country, all contributing to help battle climate change, be they leaders of industry, activists or community organisers.
An insightful and fascinating journey across a nation, pulling together to tackle climate change, this film will leave viewers with a sense of hope, inspiration, and renewed strength for the fight ahead.
This event includes a wine reception, film screening and panel discusion with special guests including the Director, Ted Simpson and Producer, Finbar O’Sullivan travelling from Scotland to participate. Booking onEventbrite.
