We are delighted to bring you our new podcast - Green Talk.

In this, our first episode, our policy and communications officer, Lewis Bloss, talks to Alastair Seaman and Tim Mullens about our work to tackle climate change in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Both Alastair and Tim are part of our climate change team, and work on a range of climate change initiatives, including the Scottish Government's Climate Challenge Fund.

They talk about how the climate change team has had to adapt the way it works, embracing home working and virtual meetings, the challenges and great work going on within community groups across Scotland who are taking action to tackle climate change, as well as what a 'green recovery' might look like for Scotland. They also talk about some of the surprising positives that have come out of the lockdown.
