Fife Climate Festival

Fife Climate Festival runs between Saturday 21st September and Saturday 5th October 2024. 

The festival is a celebration of community climate action, filled with inspiring and interesting events and activities. It is designed to celebrate the great climate action work already happening within Fife, show what we can all do to make a difference and inspire positive action to tackle the climate emergency.

Dozens of community groups are hosting events all over Fife. These include beach cleans, cycling activities, walks, talks, open days, film screenings and much much more. At least one event is planned on every day of the festival!

Building on the success of the first festival earlier this year, this festival focuses on hope for the future. It aims to imagine a world where climate action thrives and what that could mean for Fife.

The festival is presented by Climate Action Fife and delivered with support from Fife Climate Hub. It’s supported by the National Lottery Community Fund’s Climate Action Fund and the Scottish Government.

The trail

Community organisations around Fife are hosting dozens of events at a range of locations as part of the festival. These include walks, cycle rides, beach cleans, film screenings, talks, workshops and more.

We are working in partnership with Fife Climate Hub to build on the inaugural Fife Climate Festival earlier this year and encourage groups to across the region to organise events.

There are over 50 events in our printed programme and even more are listed on this webpage. We’re sure you’ll find something that you can take part in.

Frequently asked questions

What makes a Fife Climate Festival trail event?

Any activity that promotes climate friendly or environmental action and gets people talking about climate! These can be events or projects groups already host or a brand-new event that you arrange for the occasion. Events can take place anywhere in Fife.

Events could include cycle training, rides, repair or walks, repair cafés, swapping events (think clothes, toys, seeds, tools!), garden tours, climate friendly cooking demonstrations, tree planting days, nature activities, open days, film screenings, networking events, talks or climate conversation events and more.

Fife Climate Hub’s webpage has inspiration through some events and activities that were part of the first festival. Please remember, event hosts are fully responsible for arranging and running their events.

What are the benefits of taking part?

Taking part allows groups to gather members of their local community to take climate action. The festival trail gives everyone the chance to meet people and share experiences and knowledge. This means everyone is better placed to make climate friendly changes, both independently and as part of a wider movement.

The benefits of participation are wider than climate action. Hosting an event in your community can raise awareness of your organisation, your goals and ways that people can get involved.

What support is available?
  • You can find downloadable resources about event planning, talking about climate, marketing and communications and how to host events sustainably and safely on Fife Climate Hub’s resources webpage.
  • As part of the festival programme, events will also get plenty of publicity and promotion by the Climate Action Fife partnership and Fife Climate Hub team.
