The John Muir Trust has launched a climate change and sustainable communities project, focused on helping people in Scotland’s remote areas to become less dependent on fossil fuels.

The project will draw together experiences from communities like those in Knoydart and the Isle of Eigg, which have made significant steps forward in preparing for a low carbon future. The three year project will also look at community experiences in promoting energy efficiency measures in combination with sourcing renewable fuel technologies. The Trust hopes to host a conference in the autumn for remote communities to share stories and prepare action plans for the way forward.

Further information can be obtained from Fran Loots, project officer with the John Muir Trust, or on their website .
