Climate FORTH Launch Event - February 2024

On 1st February 2024, we launched the delivery phase of the latest project from the Inner Forth Futures Partnership (formerly Inner Forth Landscape Initiative) at Historic Environment Scotland's The Engine Shed. Climate FORTH - Furthering Our Resilience Through Heritage - will run until July 2026 and is funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund, thanks to National Lottery Players.
Additional funding comes from the UK Government’s Shared Prosperity Fund, the Crown Estate, IFF members and the Scottish Government through Sustrans Scotland’s Network Engagement Programme.
Climate FORTH is the current project being delivered by the Inner Forth Futures Partnership. By responding to local need and demand, it will facilitate and demonstrate the transformative action needed to transition to a climate literate, ready and resilient place. We will explore and share ways for local heritage to be an asset for a sustainable green recovery with multiple benefits.
Through collaboration and co-creation, pilot schemes will explore how new adaptive responses to change can safeguard, sustain and re-purpose our unique natural, cultural and built heritage assets. We will ensure that adapting to change in the Inner Forth is part of a just transition and we hold at the core of this project, the aim to support our most at-risk communities. In particular, we wish to support young people and those facing environmental deprivation and inequality, to increase their resilience, wellbeing and access to opportunities.
