Creative Carbon Scotland’s culture/SHIFT programme has two events specifically focused on key issues for cities – Aberdeen and Glasgow:
- What can be done in post-industrial North Glasgow?
- How to speed up post-fossil fuel Aberdeen (i.e. move postively to the post-industrial)?

Glasgow Green Tease: Whatever the Weather: Being Climate Ready in North Glasgow
Date: Wednesday 29th March, 18:30 – 20:30
Venue: The Grove Community Centre, 182 Saracen St, Glasgow, G22 5EP
What are the challenges and opportunities associated with climate change in North Glasgow? How can cultural practitioners contribute to climate change engagement strategies within the city’s communities and more widely? During this Green Tease we’ll be joined by the Glasgow Centre for Population Health and multi-disciplinary collective ice cream architecture to learn about the ‘Whatever the Weather’ engagement project in North Glasgow, exploring how communities can become more prepared and stronger in the face of climate change. We’re keen to use this opportunity to share experiences and learn from others working in similar engagement and intervention initiatives throughout the city. Read more and register here.
