Join us for a delicious lunch and informal chat to find out more \nThe Cycling Friendly Community programme supports organisations across Scotland to take a leading role in increasing the number of people who cycle thus creating sustainable\, empowered\, and healthier communities. Within the programme they have a funding available of up to £20\,000 for bikes or facilities that make cycling more accessible. Their fund makes it possible for more people\, regardless of background or ability\, to enjoy the benefits of being on a bike and enable community groups in Scotland to increase opportunities for people to cycle. \nThe event with EMEN will focus on bridging gaps in understanding the various issues that Cycling Scotland and other funders are seeking to address.

SUMMARY:Greener Buildings - How We Can Help
DESCRIPTION:Loosely timed to follow on from Interfaith Week\, this event is a fantastic opportunity for members of community groups that run a community building such as a community hall or faith building. Chris Morris from Local Energy Scotland will talk about the Scottish Government’s Community and Renewable Energy Scheme (CARES) and how it can help your community. CARES provides funding and support to make your building greener by installing renewable technologies such as heat pumps and solar panels. \nAnother great reason to attend will be to reflect on progress made in Scotland a year after COP26 and the road ahead via Egypt and beyond. \nEMEN events are always a wonderful opportunity to meet interest people\, share some delicious food\, and make connections between like-minded organisations and individuals. \nBook your free tickets now!

SUMMARY:Know Your Environmental Rights - EMEN & ERCS
DESCRIPTION:Book your free ticket now! \nThis free event is a collaboration between EMEN\, the Ethnic Minority Environmental Network\, and ERCS\, the Environmental Rights Centre for Scotland.  \nEnvironmental justice is about ensuring a fair distribution of environmental benefits and burdens. It acknowledges that marginalised groups and communities are more exposed to environmental burdens (such as pollution\, proximity to landfill and the impacts of climate change); and have less access to environmental benefits (such as access to good quality green space). \n It also recognises that these groups are least responsible for contributing to environmental damage on local and global scales. Yet\, they have fewer resources and opportunities to challenge harmful practices and protect the environment now\, and for future generations. \nThis informal discussion\, including a delicious free lunch\, will seek to prepare us for the challenges we face in the years ahead in dealing with environmental justice.  \nKnow your rights – and learn how you can help to push for a just environmental transition. \nBook your free ticket now!

SUMMARY:Energy Strategy and Just Transition Plan Consultation Event
DESCRIPTION:With the Scottish Government’s support and collaboration\, EMEN organised this engagement session on the upcoming Energy Strategy and Just Transition Plan for Scotland. \nJust transitions are becoming more visible around the world on a business\, regional\, city and national level yet it’s still rare to hear of Just Transitions in terms of human rights. Climate mitigation efforts will have serious impacts on our basic human rights and inequalities across sectors. In order to bring this to light\, this session demonstrated how any conceptualisation of tackling the dual crises of climate change and extreme inequality needs to be considered a human right to give workers the ability to hold governments and employers to account over climate inaction and impacts on their livelihoods. \nWe had a day full of energy strategy discussions in terms of human rights and equalities which has reminded us of the depth of work that still needs to be done to ensure climate mitigation efforts are fairer than we had imagined before.
