Working with councils and community groups across the UK to make sustainable towns and cities a reality.
Taking on the UK’s biggest climate challenges is about more than lowering emissions. Upgrading our draughty homes fights fuel poverty and creates new jobs, while nurturing parks and forests protects us from extreme weather, and helps people stay fit and healthy. And by making sure climate action is inclusive, it unites communities and fights inequality.
That’s why we work with councils and communities right across the country. They are experts in their place, and so are well equipped to develop equitable and targeted climate solutions which work for them.
We help them access the support, knowledge, funding and connections they need to go faster – to charge up the best climate innovation and make sure its benefits are reaching the most marginalised groups and communities.
We champion exciting climate solutions to inspire and support change – finding them through our networks and annual Ashden Awards. Use our map to explore groundbreaking council and community projects near you, and pick up ideas and practical advice for recreating them.

We draw on our ‘on the ground’ insights and learning to make evidence-based policy asks to influence national government
We’re urging the UK government to back the smart policies that will help councils, communities and businesses secure a fairer zero carbon future.
