The new project will provide support to local authorities and public sector organisations on the application of the Scottish Government’s low carbon behaviours framework and the ‘Individual, Social and Material (ISM) Tool’. The project will provide support through national events, printed and online materials, case studies, and training events and workshops. It will also provide facilitated workshops and support to help public sector organisations to develop low carbon behavior action plans.
