Climate Emergency UK

Who we are

Climate Emergency UK exists to support local authorities tackle the climate emergency by providing accessible information about best practice examples. We also provide a network where local authorities, activists, NGOs, business and local communities can work together.

We are offering online opportunities to volunteer and take part in training programmes as part of the creation of the 2027 Council Climate Action Scorecards - assessing local authorities council climate action. We welcome applicants from across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. 

Our culture and values

• We are Honest

We speak truthfully about what needs to happen, and how we fit into the space in which we work. We are clear, transparent and open about who we are, how we work, how we are funded and with each other as colleagues.

• We are Courageous

We believe in ourselves, our mission and each other. We are innovative, we try new ideas and challenge ourselves and the local climate sector to go further and faster to reduce emissions and create the communities we need to thrive.

• We are Collaborative

No one can overcome the climate emergency alone - we work with councils, campaigners and the wider sector to support the transition to net zero, by drawing on a wide range of knowledge and experience.

• We are Power Aware

We want to be sensitive to the balance of power within our own organisation and our relationships with partners, funders and supporters, and aim to identify and dismantle harmful power structures in order to foster a positive and inclusive working culture.
