In a 2023 survey of the Biggar area conducted by Scene in conjunction with the Biggar Area Climate Care (BACC) group, roughly one third of respondents stated that they think about climate change and act upon it every single day. Scene was engaged as consultants to undertake a feasibility study on decarbonising the area by focusing on sustainable transportation, recycling and reducing waste, and reducing domestic energy use in Biggar by BACC.
The study required in-depth engagement with the Biggar community, proposing low carbon opportunities and options for the Biggar area and gathering feedback on local needs, desires and capabilities. Building upon this engagement, Scene co-developed a climate action plan for Biggar with BACC, setting out short and long-term achievable steps for community-led decarbonisation.
