ECS Climate Change & Sustainability

As part of Aberdeenshire Council’s Routemap to 2030 the ECS Climate Change and Sustainability Strategy has been developed with the help of pupils and staff across Education and Children’s Services.

The ECS Climate Change and Sustainability Strategy Link.

The progress of Education and Children’s Services Sustainability Strategy can be tracked on Engagement HQ: https://engage.aberdeenshire.gov.uk/admin/projects/ecs-climate-change-and-sustainability

Click on the links contained in the ThingLink page to find out about:

• Proposals for strategies around waste, energy and green spaces
• Our ambitions to be achieved by 2025
• How our strategy links to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, Climate Ready Scotland – Second Scottish Climate Change Adaptation Programme and Scotland’s Performance Framework National Outcomes
• A link to our Engagement Hub where we will be developing a space for sharing ideas, information, gathering views through surveys and engagement around sustainability and climate change issues

Aberdeenshire Council now considers the impact on sustainability as part of all decision-making. We record the carbon footprint of all council sites, including schools, and continue to look for ways to reduce this carbon footprint. We are keen to encourage all children and young people to add their ideas to the Ideas Wall in the pupil area to help progress our ECS Climate Change and Sustainability Strategy.
