STOP CLIMATE CHAOS, SCOTLAND

What STOP CLIMATE CHAOS, SCOTLAND does

Stop Climate Chaos Scotland (SCCS) is a Scottish civil society coalition and registered charity (SC039643) that brings together over 70 environmental, faith, development, trade union, and community organisations to campaign collectively on climate change policy. Founded in 2006 and headquartered in Edinburgh, the coalition represents approximately 2 million people across Scotland and has influenced major climate policy milestones including the Climate Change Act 2009 and Scotland's pioneering commitment to loss and damage finance, as well as hosting events at COP26 in Glasgow. SCCS operates with a small core staff and is governed by its member organisations, conducting advocacy through direct engagement with the Scottish Government and Parliament, policy briefings, media campaigns, mass lobby events, and an active digital presence across website, email, X, Bluesky, and LinkedIn.

SCCS has no proprietary technology products, software platforms, or AI/ML capabilities; its operational infrastructure is limited to a website (stopclimatechaos.scot), email newsletter, social media accounts, and a JustGiving donation page. The organisation's "products" are its policy outputs: parliamentary briefings, manifesto publications, press releases, articles, and event convening. Its revenue model is donation-based, relying entirely on voluntary public donations through JustGiving and implicit member organisation contributions, with no commercial pricing, contracts, or fee-for-service offerings. The core go-to-market motion is community-led coalition advocacy: mobilising civil society organisations to campaign collectively, engage policymakers, and drive public engagement rather than selling services.

Direct peers

• The Climate Coalition: UK-wide sister coalition of 100+ organisations campaigning on climate change. Structurally and strategically the closest analogue to SCCS, with shared member organisations and a directly listed partnership relationship.
• Scottish Environment LINK: Scotland's umbrella coalition for environmental NGOs, working on environmental policy advocacy in Scotland. Directly comparable coalition model and Scottish policy focus, with overlapping member organisations.
• Stop Climate Chaos Cymru (SCC Cymru): Welsh counterpart coalition of civil society organisations campaigning on climate change, listed as an SCCS partner. Operates the same model in a different UK devolved nation.

Emerging players

• Nourish Scotland: Scotland-based food and sustainability charity and SCCS member organisation that campaigns on sustainable farming, food policy, and climate. Operates a narrower single-issue mandate than SCCS but with similar Scottish policy advocacy approach.
• Friends of the Earth Scotland: Scotland's primary environmental NGO and an SCCS member organisation. Focused on environmental and climate advocacy with similar targets (Scottish Government/Parliament) but as a single organisation rather than a coalition.
• WWF Scotland: Scotland office of a major international conservation NGO and SCCS member organisation. Engages in Scottish climate and nature policy advocacy with a much larger global parent.
• Uplift: UK campaign-focused organisation that mobilises people around energy, climate, and social issues, and is an SCCS member organisation. Overlapping mission and advocacy tactics but with a UK rather than Scotland-specific scope.

Broad incumbents

• Climate Action Network (CAN): Global network of over 1,800 civil society organisations working on climate policy. Operates a comparable coalition/network model to SCCS at global scale rather than Scotland-only.
• 350.org: International grassroots climate movement operating mass mobilisation campaigns (including in Scotland/UK). Comparable in mission and grassroots mobilisation model but at a far larger international scale.
• Green Alliance: UK environmental think tank and policy convener working on climate and sustainability policy. Operates in the same advocacy/policy space as SCCS but as a think tank rather than a mass coalition.
