Membership
We are an energetic, friendly, and diverse network that engages a wide range of professionals, practitioners, and leaders from across Scotland's public sector.
Who is SSN membership open to?
SSN membership consists of individual and organisational members. Organisational members are the Public Bodies identified in the Climate Change Act (Scotland).
Individual membership is open to all public sector professionals who wish to collaborate and take action on climate change and sustainability.
