MORAY Council is promoting action and encouraging climate change discussion as part of Scotland's Climate Week.
Council officers, joined by tsiMoray, are promoting climate work taking place locally with a series of events between Monday, September 26 and Sunday, October 2.
Scotland's Climate Week aims to raise awareness of the global climate emergency and to encourage climate action across the country.
As well as visiting primary and secondary schools in an electric vehicle, the Climate Week team will be engaging with the public.
You can join the climate week team and find out more at several locations around Moray.
They will be at Moray Wastebusters (by Forres) from 2.30pm to 3.30pm tomorrow, Buckie Library from 11am to 12.30pm and Keith Square from 1.30pm to 2.30pm on Thursday and Elgin Plainstones from 10.30am until 12.30pm on Friday.
The week’s events officially began with a launch at Elgin Library on Monday, September 26, attended by the council’s climate change team, representatives from tsiMoray, REAP, Zero Carbon Moray and Richard Lochhead, Moray's SNP MSP.
Moray Council’s Climate Change Champion, councillor Draeyk van der Hørn (Forres, Greens), said: “The climate crisis is already having a significant impact across the world, including in Scotland.
"But collectively we can work to reduce our emissions to net zero and help create a climate-ready Moray.
“It’s important to create conversations that make a difference. This week, let’s share ideas and support each other in taking action to restore our world’s climate and biodiversity.
"We have no planet B. We look forward to seeing you and let’s talk.”
TsiMORAY’s third sector development officer, Louise Nicol, added: “Tackling climate change means we must keep the climate conversation going in our local communities.
"We are excited to be on the road with Moray Council and other partners to highlight what's happening in the third sector and to hear what people are looking for so we can help them on the climate change journey.
"If we are to make the changes needed to combat climate change, it will take all of us working together.”
