That this Parliament notes the participation of the North East Scotland Climate Action Network (NESCAN) Hub in London Climate Week 2026, which runs from 20 to 28 June; believes that this will provide an excellent opportunity to highlight what it sees as the vital work that communities and organisations across Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire, and across Scotland more broadly, are doing through the regional hub network in areas including climate action, biodiversity gain, deliberative democracy, co-creation and the circular economy; notes that the NESCAN network emerged from an organic grassroots movement and brought community visions from the north east to COP26 in Glasgow; believes that, since then, NESCAN has become the pathfinder regional climate action hub, illustrating how communities, when supported and connected, can lead the way in responding to the climate emergency despite what it considers are profound global pressures and geopolitical instability; understands that NESCAN's role is to enable and amplify progress by ensuring that people have access to the support, tools, training, connections, funding and confidence to act; applauds the work of NESCAN, and wishes the network every success with its future activities.
