The SCIS is delivered through a partnership of ECCI, the Improvement Service and the Sustainable Scotland Network, with support from all 32 Scottish local authorities, COSLA and the Scottish Government.
SCIS harnesses the breadth of experience and ambition of its partners to improve delivery of its support.
ECCI is a leading centre of expertise on climate change, based in the University of Edinburgh. It brings together research, policy, and practice in number of programmes building the skills, knowledge, and capacity to deliver climate action in Scotland and beyond.
The Sustainable Scotland Network (SSN) is Scotland’s public sector network on climate change and sustainability. It has been working with and providing support to Scotland’s public sector bodies since 2003. Providing guidance, tools, training and knowledge exchange, SSN supports public bodies to comply with their Public Bodies Climate Change Duties, including support for mandatory reporting. Place-based climate action is core to the SSN programme. By bringing key climate professionals together, SSN improves alignment and collaboration across the public sector, while fostering better links with leadership, policy and research. SSN and SCIS are working together to help build on existing services and ensure synergy of support to local authorities and their partners.
