Climate Action in Fife

About the climate emergency

Thank you for taking this survey!

Climate Action Fife and the Fife Climate Hub would like to find out what Fifers think and feel about the climate emergency and action you can take to fight it. At the end of the survey we will ask for a bit of information about you.

Climate Action Fife has been in existence since October 2020 and became a partnership of 12 organisations in June 2022. We are funded by the National Lottery Community Fund’s Climate Action Fund to help people in Fife take climate action and we are now nearly half way in our 5-year project. Learn more

The Fife Climate Hub was set up in May 2023 by Fife Communities Climate Action Network (FCCAN) with funding from the Scottish Government.

This short survey should only take 12 minutes to complete. Please give us your answers no later than 29 November.

All information you give us will be kept strictly confidential. All questions are optional. See our privacy notice for more information.

Thank you for your help.
