Building a Greener Lanarkshire Together

That the Parliament recognises the Lanarkshire Climate Action Festival, which is taking place from 7 to 20 September 2026, bringing communities across Lanarkshire together to celebrate positive climate action and encourage local involvement; notes that this year’s festival features around 90 events, alongside participation from 62 primary schools and early learning centres through biodiversity planting; recognises what it sees as the important role of the Lanarkshire Climate Action Hub as part of the Scottish Government’s national network of 24 Community Climate Action Hubs, supporting local people to build awareness, develop projects and take practical action on climate change; welcomes the Scottish Government’s continued support for the network, including funding of up to £6 million in 2026-27, and recognises what it sees as the valuable contribution of local communities and organisations in helping to deliver Scotland’s climate ambitions and build resilience across Lanarkshire.
