We invite you to help shape this event and to take part.
The next year will be a critical one for work on climate change. The general election and the UN Paris conference will be key events, while issues round divestment, fracking, and renewable energy will also be focal points for action. Action at a local level will be an essential part of this work.
There will be speakers (see the Agenda) from national NGOs including the Climate Coalition, Friends of the Earth, 350.org, CAFOD, Share Action and the Joseph Rowntree Foundation as well as from various local organosations and networks.
This event will offer all involved a chance to learn, to share, to build skills and to plan, as well as being a unique opportunity to build and renew contacts across and between networks. More information is available – email info@communityenvironment.org.uk
The conference takes place at University College London, near Euston station.
A post-conference social on the 28th will link into ‘Earth Hour’ the global switch-off that will take place that evening.

You can also search the map, and you can turn any of the sets of icons on and off by ticking the box next to the icon.
