Many glimpses of an alternative future already exist across Scotland. Often against significant odds, communities are implementing locally-developed solutions to meeting their needs – across food, energy, transport, waste, health, education and enterprise. Future Voices tells the stories of some of these initiatives. SCCAN holds a vision of a zero-carbon future, achieved through communities becoming empowered and resilient enough to grasp the opportunity to build a fairer society – one that regenerates our communities as well as our environment.
