Key Resources for Community Groups

Freely available online inspiration, tools, reports, guidance, training, webinars and more, to support community groups to act on the climate emergency and help reduce their greenhouse gas emissions.

With technical solutions readily available, the momentum is building in our towns and cities to act on the climate and biodiversity emergency at the speed and scale required. Community groups play an important role in helping drive and support individuals, councils, local authorities and businesses to make the changes we need.

Our online Resource Hub and the wider work of our Zero Carbon Britain Hub and Innovation Lab, helps provide organisations with the knowledge, confidence and skills to take action and to understand the co-benefits taking action will bring.
