Stop Climate Chaos Scotland (SCCS) is a coalition of around 60 organisations in Scotland that are campaigning on climate change. Together we represent over two million people in Scotland, an amazing 40% of the population.
We have close links with the Stop Climate Chaos coalition in London and work with them on cross-border issues whenever we can. But Scotland faces many challenges relating to climate change that are quite different from England and Wales.

Much that affects climate change emissions and adaptation is devolved from Westminster to Holyrood, for example housing, transport, energy and education. The cultural, educational, legal, social and geographical context is different and Scotland’s potential for developing renewable energy has been recognized to be considerable. It is for these reasons that a strong Scottish coalition is working on climate change issues specific to Scotland, while keeping close ties with our colleagues in England and Wales, and indeed through our networks across the world.
SCCS played a key role in the development of the Climate Change (Scotland) Act 2009, currently recognised to be the strongest climate change legislation in the world. For more info read our briefing on the Bill.
Scotland’s own emissions account for only a relatively small percentage of the global total, so SCCS is also working to push the Scottish example as an international precedent.
