Exploring climate impact and health inequalities

Unbound Scotland is a project about empowering people to come together to take local, community-led climate action that supports good health in their communities.
Led by SCDC and SCCAN, the project will be exploring local solutions with communities in Scotland, offering practical support across communities of place and interest in all local authority areas.
A key part of this work will be to co-design a local community event to bring people in the community together to explore their vision and priorities around health inequalities and local climate responses.
Over the last few months, we’ve been making connections and understanding local activity and contexts across the country, using both SCDC’s and SCCAN's networks of groups and contacts.
Through this intensive process, we have identified 16 potential communities we’ll be working with, organised by cluster areas, shown on this map.
Each cluster will have a dedicated engagement team, and we’ll be highlighting local community activity and capturing key learning as we go.
