Community Climate Action Toolkit

Why this toolkit?

UN Secretary-General António Guterres called the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) report of August 2021 a “code red for humanity”. He said, “If we combine forces now, we can avert climate catastrophe.”

There is a need to build resilience, a need to enable communities and ecosystems to cope with changing climate and extreme weather events already being felt across the world. This adaptation is particularly important to the global south, where the impact of climate change is already felt, but where they have the least historic responsibility for carbon emissions.

Solution For All Communities

What is the purpose?

The purpose of the community group climate action toolkit is to provide practical and easy-to-use guidance on how to set up and develop a new group in any part of the world. The toolkit empowers any community which wants to take action together.

Who needs it?

While governments and big businesses need to do more, local groups have an important role to play. Engaging with the hearts, heads and hands of the local community is crucial. The toolkit helps a new community group to form, or an existing group to review progress and refresh itself, and to develop its initiatives.
