About
Tackling climate change and its impacts is one of the greatest challenges humanity has ever faced.
Local authorities and partnerships have a crucial role in both driving the UK toward net zero and preparing communities for a changing climate.
To do this effectively and fairly, meaningful public engagement is essential.
ABOUT THE PROJECT
The Local Climate Engagement Resource Hub is your straightforward, no-fluff guide to bringing communities across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland into the heart of climate action.
It’s a toolkit built for local authorities who want clear, practical steps—no jargon, no guesswork—to run effective public engagement.
Rooted in real experience and designed for busy teams across all four nations, the Hub cuts through complexity to help you build trust, shape better policies, and make climate action truly local.
