Sink Or Swim Discussion - Climate Ready Leaders Scotland

Join Climate Ready Leaders for our first online session of 2026, featuring Verture’s CEO Jo Kerr and author Susannah Fisher to discuss her book Sink or Swim.

We’ll explore what it means to build resilience and fairness in the face of climate change and how we can act together for a fairer future.

Verture’s Leadership Programme Manager Emilie Wadsworth will share her expertise on Adaptation Scotland; a programme provides advice and support to help Scotland be prepared and resilient to the effects of climate change.

Sink or Swim delves in to how communities are responding to climate challenges across the world, and what lessons we can draw on to create a more resilient future.

This session will combine insights from the book with shared reflections from Climate ready leaders.
