2023 was the hottest year on record, according to climate scientists. To tackle climate change, the Scottish government has committed to reduce greenhouse gases that cause global warming to Net Zero by 2045. In this two-part series, Mairi Rodgers goes on a journey across Scotland to discover the practical ways individuals, communities and businesses are trying to reduce emissions.

In the first episode, Mairi follows the Harper family in Inverness as they take steps to reduce their own carbon footprint. She finds out ways they could reduce their energy costs, visits a recycling plant, looks at transport and housing, and discovers the impact coastal erosion is having on communities in the Western Isles. What does all this mean for Scotland, and are the ambitious net zero goals of 2045 achievable?
