Climate Justice

Scotland’s 2020 Climate Group is raising funds to support Scotland’s ambitions for climate justice by investing in solar lights in Malawi, undertaking research into climate justice and educating children both in Scotland and in Malawi. We’ve raised £328,000 so far!

Our delivery partners include Keep Scotland Beautiful (KSB), Glasgow Caledonian University (GCU) and SolarAid. Scotland Lights up Malawi will address three key areas:

1. DELIVERING over 100,000 solar lights to the most disadvantaged communities in Malawi through SunnyMoney social enterprise (via SolarAid) as well as helping reactivate the Malawian Renewable Energy Association.
2. MEASURING the impact of this approach on climate change and poverty using a climate justice framework.
3. EDUCATING Scottish society on the related issues of climate change and poverty through the development of educational material, which will then be piloted in a sample of schools, building on the Eco-Schools Scotland Programme.
