Details

The Shetland Local Action Group (LAG) will focus on project delivery, supporting activities that will contribute positively to local people and local priorities and helping rural communities to thrive through community-led initiatives. They understand that 60% of emission reductions to meet net zero targets needs to come from social change. Shetland communities therefore have a key role to play as part of that wider public engagement strategy and in the creation of sustainable communities.

The main focus for activity will aim to support sustainable projects which can be reflected within the following four priority areas:

• Helping families and services through the cost of living crises, including helping to address the drivers of child poverty
• Increasing community capacity to address rural challenge
• Transforming the economy to deliver net zero and
• Creating sustainable public services
