Climate Change Message in a Bottle
Climate Change Message in a Bottle is a participatory multi-media art project which brought the voices of young islanders from Scotland and around the world to COP26. The project was founded by Strathclyde Centre for Environmental Law and Governance and Taigh Chearsabhagh Museum & Arts Centre, and is kindly funded by the Scottish Government.
After educational workshops on climate science, clean energy and COP26, participating schoolchildren put together messages to delegates and representatives at COP26 in Glasgow about the climate crisis and their islands. Watch the video, created by UistFilm, to see what young islanders had to say to world leaders!

With thanks to the Scottish Government for additional funding and support, the project was able to continue in 2022 for Scotland’s Year of Stories. In this second phase of their project, children expressed their hopes and desires for a sustainable, carbon neutral future on their islands.
