Tackling the Challenge of Climate Change

Tough targets on climate change present Scotland with a huge challenge;
CCC has a vital part to play.

Crichton Carbon Centre (CCC) is a not for profit making organisation, established in 2007 to help people make the transition to a low carbon society. We do this through research and development, education and training, facilitation, consultancy and advisory work on all aspects of carbon management.
