Our resources and networks help community groups deliver inclusive climate action – like nurturing green spaces, tackling fuel poverty or fixing up clothes, furniture and gadgets. As well as lowering emissions, these initiatives create better health, financial savings and other great outcomes across society. Community groups make sure everyone can take part in, and enjoy the benefits of climate action.
