We’re building a people-powered movement for a safe climate. Right now in the UK, we’re fighting for a Green New Deal and to cut off money flows to the fossil fuel industry.

ACT are on a mission to supercharge the effectiveness of climate communications. We run impactful creative campaigns, and provide strategic advice for members. We work with NGOs, good businesses and other organisations trying to reach mainstream audiences with positive climate messages. Our mission is to supercharge the effectiveness of climate communications with advertising techniques. We want to make climate action mainstream. We can only achieve this with climate communicators breaking out of their bubbles and engaging a key target audience: the Persuadables – 69% of the UK population who are neither climate activists nor climate deniers.

The Active Wellbeing Society (TAWS) is a community benefit society and cooperative working to develop healthy, happy communities living active and connected lives.

Our vision is for a society where people have the autonomy, capacity, resources and skills to become the architects of their own destiny; where our individual wellbeing is recognised as being bound up in our collective responsibility to and dependency on each other; and where all of us feel empowered as agents of social change to make a difference – whether at an individual level or more widely. By working collaboratively with communities we aim to bring about sustainable change on an social, environmental and economic level; to do the social knitting required to create stronger and more resilient communities and to support communities to identify, mitigate and remove the barriers that prevent them from living active and connected lives. The Society was developed out of the successful Wellbeing Service set up by Birmingham City Council in June 2015.

The creative agency for life on earth. The Agency For Nature is an experiment in the future of creativity. In the context of climate change and the collapse of nature, what if our creativity was used in service to life on earth?  It supports young creatives in the advertising industry to think and act differently, to slow down, and to reconnect with nature.

We’re on a mission to embed climate truth, courage, and just solutions in education—and to make it exceedingly easy to use the All We Can Save anthology within the classroom.  To nurture the leaderful climate community we need for a life-giving future.

Anthropy aims to inspire a better Britain by fostering meaningful dialogue, encouraging collaborative ideas and creating collective action by way of both select and discreet event programming and partnerships. Anthropy is a unique 21st Century organisation based on a cross sector membership, with content and programming Partners, willing to connect and collaborate year-round to bring our community of leaders together to explore new ideas and incubate collaborations for the wider good.

The twin crises of climate breakdown and biodiversity loss are the most serious issue of our time. Buildings and construction play a major part, accounting for nearly 40% of energy-related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions whilst also having a significant impact on our natural habitats.  For everyone working in the construction industry, meeting the needs of our society without breaching the earth’s ecological boundaries will demand a paradigm shift in our behaviour. Together with our clients, we will need to commission and design buildings, cities and infrastructures as indivisible components of a larger, constantly regenerating and self-sustaining system. The research and technology exist for us to begin that transformation now, but what has been lacking is collective will. Recognising this, we are committing to strengthen our working practices to create architecture and urbanism that has a more positive impact on the world around us.

The Association of Sustainability Practitioners (ASP) is here to promote learning that transforms behaviour from unsustainable to sustainable practices. We are an international community of sustainability practitioners with a wide diversity of skills and practices, learning  and acting together to create truly sustainable futures.  We provide each other with the space to safely explore the challenges of this journey through mutual support and helpful connection. Connecting – we compile and share regular news bulletins with details of “what’s happening” in the sustainability and purpose world.  We collaborate on projects and other activities and promote our projects, research, upcoming events, interesting articles,  new reports – in short anything that our members wish to share with our community.

Founded in 1913, the British Ecological Society (BES) is the oldest ecological society in the world. The BES promotes the study of ecology through a range of scientific publications, conferences, public engagement and policy work. The society has 7,000 members from 120 different countries.

We raise awareness across the business sector of the imperative to accelerate action to address climate change, biodiversity loss and social injustice.  We celebrate all companies who declare. We are not perfect, and we are not judging others. We are part of a coalition of the willing looking to collaborate and accelerate action. We push the boundaries, facilitating conversations on the many complex challenges businesses are facing. We urge faster action than the Paris agreement. We engage business leaders who want to add their voice to our resounding, collective call for change.

A well-established campaign group focused on sustainable approaches to transport.

A coming together of volunteers, Chard Area Resilience Group (CARG) is busy working on behalf of all of us, protecting from future flooding and other civil incidents by increasing resilience through fact-finding, illustrative design and sketches based on evidence, the “voice of reason”, sharing information and community cooperation.

A Citizens’ Assembly is a representative group of citizens who are selected at random from the population to learn about, deliberate upon, and make recommendations in relation to a particular issue or set of issues. It is still up to elected politicians whether or not to follow the assembly’s recommendations.

The aim is to secure a group of people who are broadly representative of the electorate across characteristics such as their gender, ethnicity, social class and the area where they live. They could also match political divides like position on Brexit or Scottish independence.

Campaigning to achieve urgently and sustainably full compliance with World Health Organisation guidelines for air quality throughout London and elsewhere

Climate Action Network (CAN) is a global network of more than 1,900 civil society organisations in over 130 countries driving collective and sustainable action to fight the climate crisis and to achieve social justice. CAN convenes and coordinates civil society at the UN climate talks and other international fora.

This Hub brings together a Climate Café® movement growing since 2015. Community led, from beginnings in rural Scotland, sister Cafés are emerging around the world. Find out about Climate Café®, connect with others, find out how they work, as well as find support and guidance to start your own!

As it becomes more evident that climate and ecological breakdown are a clear and present danger to our safety and wellbeing, we increasingly need to talk about what our changing world means for us in terms of impacts at personal, family and societal level. We need to imagine it in some detail so as to be able to think about it clearly and constructively, and to explore some complex feelings and thoughts which may often be taboo and hard to talk about. With sturdy enough support structures in place, most people can sustain challenging feelings without either dissociating and numbing or going into blind panic. They can engage with difficult truths whilst staying connected and grounded. A climate café aims to be such a structure – a container that is strong enough to allow the exploration of fear, anxiety, and other emotions such as anger, helplessness, sadness, grief or depression.

Climate Cleanup Foundation is an independent entrepreneurial non-profit funded by members. Together we pioneer systemic interventions to enable carbon returning on land, in oceans,
rocks and constructions. We are people reversing climate change. We remove carbon dioxide from oceans and the atmosphere. We double nature by fostering systemic conditions for the regenerative economy.

The Climate Emergency Centres (CECs) project enables the development of a self-funding Eco Centre that brings together a diverse alliance of groups and individuals in the local community to build solutions, relationships and resilience in the face of the Climate Emergency and multiple social crises. Each centre is autonomous but interconnected with a broader network of Centres across the UK that support each other, sharing skills, resources and knowledge. The Climate Emergency Centres (CEC) project has grown out of 30 years of grassroots environmental community centre projects, which began in 1992 after the Rio Earth Summit.Knowledge from this experience has been collated into the CEC handbook.

At this critical time for our planet what is needed is spaces and infrastructure to help people connect and gather resources to take action for a sustainable future. Over 300 Councils in the UK have declared a climate emergency. Local communities can come together to set up self-funding Climate Emergency Centres that meet local needs in a sustainable way. These Centres will work to improve community resilience by focusing on solutions to social and environmental crises. Local communities create a team and identify a vacant building, either owned by the Council or a private developer, that can be used for a Climate Emergency Centre (CEC) for the benefit of people and planet. They are supported by being connected to a network of other groups working in their own communities, and sharing experience, knowledge and skills.

We work to accelerate citizen climate action towards system change, and help a mass movement to see its own power.

In particular, we support promising initiatives organising citizen action in local communities, workplaces and professions. The Incubator helps them to grow, connect with funding and build their networks.

The world’s political and industry leaders have failed in delivering the massive transformation of systems needed to halt climate change. We often hear that time is running out to fix things – but the fact is, time ran out some time ago. It’s now too late to achieve the ‘safe’ 1.5°C limit agreed at the Paris 2015 summit.

This doesn’t mean that we should give up. The opposite: it means that in order to limit catastrophic damage, most of the people in the world need to be on board with climate action.

Helping people to understand and talk about climate change.  They help people understand this complex issue in ways that resonate with their sense of identity, values and worldview.

Exploring psychological responses to the climate crisis to strengthen relationships and resilience for a just future. Climate psychology is concerned with the emotions, and the social and mental processes that have contributed to the ecological and climate crisis, and our responses and processes of adaptation to it. In the Climate Psychology Alliance we draw on psychotherapeutic approaches, psychosocial studies, the arts, spiritual and philosophical thought, literature, systems thinking and ecopsychology, all in the service of unpicking our collective and individual responses to the crisis, much of which is unacknowledged and unconscious. Climate psychology aims to contribute by:

• building understanding and support for individuals and groups
• enabling transformation and adaptation
• helping us to cope with the consequences of the climate and ecological crisis.

DARE is a small rural site in Kent focused around Deep Adaptation, researching and living what that means, including the practical and emotional skills we need.  It is based near Edenbridge, Kent, UK.

Dark Optimism is, in part, a perspective which is not afraid of seeking the truth — even when that truth is unpalatable or feels overwhelming. By exploring the unknown we can see it for what it is, rather than what we might fear it to be. Where there is darkness present we face it with an indomitable belief in the potential of life and humankind. This website is the home of the not-for-profit public interest research, writing and activism of Shaun Chamberlin, working with a wide network of friends and partners around the world. Our projects epitomise the Dark Optimism perspective.

We are unashamedly positive about the kind of future we could be creating, and unashamedly realistic about how far we are from doing so today.

A network initiated by Jeremy Lent.

Identity | We are a community sharing deep concern about our civilization’s direction, with an intention to engage constructively to change its trajectory.

Purpose | To help amplify the forces for Deep Transformation that could set humanity on a path of future flourishing on a regenerated Earth.

Values | With reverence for the dignity and interdependence of all beings, we seek life-enriching symbioses within human society and within the planetary matrix that sustains us all.

Diggers and Dreamers is for those interested in Intentional Communities in Britain – a book and a website

For many people another way of living starts with this book…So you’re fed up with living in a little box. Maybe just by yourself. Maybe with your family. Just being a docile consumer alongside the billions of other docile consumers. And the combined outcome of it all is a wrecked planet.

Earth4All is a vibrant collective of leading economic thinkers, scientists, and advocates, convened by The Club of Rome, the BI Norwegian Business School, the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research and the Stockholm Resilience Centre. Building on the legacies of The Limits to Growth and the Planetary Boundaries frameworks, science is at the heart of our work. Leading scientists have developed state of the art systems dynamic models and run different scenarios for possible plausible futures.

Earth4All is guided by a Transformational Economics Commission, made up of economic thinkers from across the globe to explore new economic thinking and test the model outcomes. The third pillar is a global campaign that aims to make the Earth4All vision a reality, advocating for governments to adopt policies that will enable resilient and healthy societies.

Those of us in the ecopsychology community, authoring this website, are passionate about making a collective shift towards living regeneratively. As ecopsychologists we’re aware that the shift is not only practical, but also calls for a change in consciousness. We look for change in the way we humans (especially, but not only, in the so-called West or Global North) have come to see ourselves in relation to the rest of life. In particular we seek a re-visioning of the divide we’ve put between our own species, other species and everything that is not human, or deemed not ‘useful’ to humans. We come from a diverse range of backgrounds: therapists, environmentalists, academics, business consultants, doctors, as well as ceremony makers, gardeners, journalists, teachers, film-makers, ecologists, artists, horticulturalists, activists, writers…. and many of us move between several of these worlds.

Ecopsychology is an emerging field; a discipline, an art form, a practice, which bridges between professions and trades, between ways of thinking, between head, heart and hands. Whilst we are a mix of women, men, and those who identify in a less binary way, we are also aware that many of us in this community are white and from a ‘western’ background. Our hope is that this changes as the community becomes more diverse and accessible.

We are a network of over 3,500 people and organisations that lead the way in advancing the stewardship of land, water and nature throughout England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

First coming to prominence in 2019, XR is an activist organisation that aims to bring pressure to bear on governments and institutions.

Tell the Truth
Things are getting worse faster than we expected.

Act Now
Those in power aren’t acting quickly enough.

Decide Together
We need change that is decided fairly and transparently. We need a Citizens’ Assembly on Climate and Ecological Justice.

Fashion Declares! brings together brands, retailers, designers, and other professionals to champion sustainable practices, reduce the environmental footprint of fashion, and bring about a fairer industry for all. We run inspiring in-person events, and trainings and webinars for all within the industry, and campaign for positive action and change.

Our vision? A world where fashion thrives in harmony with our planet and the producers within its supply chains. It’s more than a movement; it’s a commitment to transforming and renewing the fashion industry, from the bottom up.

Fashion Revolution was founded by Carry Somers and Orsola de Castro in the wake of the Rana Plaza disaster in 2013. We have grown to become the world’s largest fashion activism movement, mobilising citizens, brands and policymakers through research, education and advocacy. We are a global movement of people who make the fashion industry work. We are the people who wear clothes. And we are the people who make them. We are designers, academics, writers, business leaders, policymakers, brands, retailers, marketers, producers, makers, workers and fashion lovers. We are the industry and we are the public. We are world citizens. We are Fashion Revolution.

OUR VISION
A global fashion industry that conserves and restores the environment and values people over growth and profit.

Transforming mindsets for climate action – working with education, businesses and other organisations.  Platforming young voices.
We help young people turn climate anxiety into action, and work with leaders to drive intergenerational solutions.

Find a new home for something you no longer need.  A UK organisation aiming to increase reuse and reduce landfill by offering a free Internet-based service where people can give away and ask for things that would otherwise be thrown away.

We’re facing a climate emergency. Climate breakdown affects all of us. From flood-stricken homes in Yorkshire to smouldering forests in Australia, extreme weather events are becoming all too common. And they’re forcing millions of the world’s poorest people from their homes.

We know what our leaders need to do to halt the climate emergency. And we need urgent action now. Time is running out in the fight to protect people and planet.

These have sprung across the UK, providing training for young people not in employment – and affordable, good quality furniture for people on low incomes.

#Generation Restoration – an emerging youth-led movement/collective connecting people, places, and initiatives operating within the Ecosystem Restoration framework to collaborate and share best practice

• A new generation of young people and ecopreneurs known as Generation Restoration are putting the planet’s health first.
• This youth-led movement shows the power of an environmentally savvy generation to bring about real, concrete change towards a healthy planet.
• To support their efforts, the World Economic Forum is launching the #GenerationRestoration Youth Challenge to support young ecopreneurs.

We are financing our way into extinction. A combination of deforestation, industrial agriculture and overexploitation of resources is destroying the ecosystems and biodiversity on which we all depend. It is exacerbating climate change and raising the risk of future pandemics. It is destroying the rights and livelihoods of Indigenous and local communities. And it is pushing us ever-closer to dangerous tipping points in the Earth’s system, such as the loss of the Amazon rainforest.

Global Canopy is changing this. We’re a data-driven not for profit that targets the market forces destroying nature. Working with partners around the world, we identify and make accessible the data needed to transition away from this destructive status quo. Our data, metrics and insights are enabling companies, financial institutions and governments to tackle their hidden sustainability risks – while at the same time enabling campaigners and the media to hold to account those that are failing to act.

Global Forest Watch offers the latest data, technology and tools that empower people everywhere to better protect forests.

We are part of a powerful global movement working to build a future free from the injustice of climate change, and free from the profiteering fossil fuel industry that drives it. By dismantling the power of the fossil fuel industry, we can make space for real climate solutions, and build a future powered by clean, community-led renewable energy.

We use the law to create a better, fairer and greener future for the UK.

Good Law Project is a not for profit campaign organisation that uses the law for a better world. We know that the law, in the right hands, can be a fair and decent force for good. It is a practical tool for positive change and can make amazing things happen. We are proud to be primarily funded by members of the public, which keeps us fiercely independent. We want to inspire hope in difficult times by showing that you can make a difference, with the backing of good law. Our mission is to use the law to hold power to account, protect the environment, and ensure no one is left behind.

The Great Imagining is co-created with young people and works in partnership with experts, creatives, institutions and organisations to create transformative education adventures.

Our vision is for a human paradigm shift towards a Greener, Fairer, Wiser future.

Greenpeace is a movement of people who are passionate about defending the natural world from destruction. Our vision is a greener, healthier and more peaceful planet, one that can sustain life for generations to come. We are independent. We don’t accept any funding from governments, corporations or political parties – our work is funded by ordinary people. That means we are free to confront governments and corporations responsible for the destruction of the natural world and push for real change.

We do this by investigating, documenting and exposing the causes of environmental destruction. We work to bring about change by lobbying, consumer pressure and mobilising members of the general public. And we take peaceful direct action to protect our Earth and promote solutions for a green and peaceful future. Greenpeace was founded in 1971 by a small group of concerned individuals, who set sail to Amchitka island off the coast of Alaska to try and stop a US nuclear weapons test. Their old fishing boat was called “The Greenpeace”. Today, Greenpeace is present in over 40 countries around the world. Our movement is growing every day and our commitment to realising our vision is as strong as ever.

We find ourselves at a pivotal point in human history now. Climate change is rapidly accelerating and we are feeling the effects of it ever more – in the changes to our air, sea levels and more extreme weather events. The need to act to protect our planet has never been so urgent, yet governments and corporations are still dragging their feet. Our mission is to promote radical changes and new solutions to the ways we live on this planet so that we can all call it home for generations to come.

People all over the world who get together to grow with others in unloved spaces and make their local neighbourhoods greener.

In 2015, the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provided a comprehensive plan for a sustainable world by 2030. However, progress is not happening fast enough, and we urgently need to increase our collective abilities to face and work effectively with complex challenges.

IDG is a non-profit, open-source initiative committed to fostering inner development towards more sustainable futures. We research, collect, and communicate science-based skills and qualities that help us to live purposeful, sustainable, and productive lives.

How can we make companies accountable for their impact on the planet?

We reinvent the way we measure them.

Behind Impaakt, came years of work inside some of the largest financial institutions in the world. Yes, you read that right, our community founders came from the finance world. Surprising? It shouldn’t be. Investors steer capital to companies all over the world that profoundly impact our everyday lives. Those companies are the largest contributors to environmental & social issues and thus hold a great deal of power over the progress toward a sustainable future. With the right investment companies having a positive impact on the planet are able to flourish. And those having a negative impact are challenged to change or risk having investors put their capital elsewhere.

Founded on the eve of the Paris Agreement in 2015, we are a global non-profit think tank working on the cutting edge of climate and sustainability issues. Our mission is to facilitate ambitious action by corporations and governments globally to address the climate and biodiversity crises. We do this by generating innovative analysis for use by investors, corporations, policymakers, campaigns, and a range of other influential actors, as well as being a trusted and widely covered resource for the global media. Our two work streams, LobbyMap and FinanceMap, are world-renowned platforms that respectively hold the corporate and finance sectors accountable for climate performance. InfluenceMap is philanthropically funded and based in London, with offices in New York, Tokyo, and Seoul.

Founded in 2007, Inside Climate News is a US-based, Pulitzer Prize-winning, nonprofit, nonpartisan news organization that provides essential reporting and analysis on climate change, energy and the environment, for the public and for decision makers. We serve as watchdogs of government, industry and advocacy groups and hold them accountable for their policies and actions.

We have earned national recognition for our work and many of the most prestigious awards in journalism, including the Pulitzer. Already one of the largest dedicated environmental newsrooms in the country, ICN, through its local reporting networks, is committed to training the next generation of journalists, and to strengthening the practice of environmental and justice journalism.

We work to make public participation and deliberation an everyday part of our democracy, and help solve the big challenges of our time. Our mission is to develop, support and campaign for new ways of involving people in the decisions that affect their lives.

A non-profit removing CO2 from the atmosphere through global reforestation. We make it simple for individuals, schools and businesses to plant trees. Together let’s combat climate change.

A union of farmers, foresters and growers supporting agroecological approaches and opposing the industrialisation of agriculture.

Inspired by the Pope Francis, this is a large and diverse multi-faith set of projects designed to protect the Earth.

The Earth now cries out to us because of the harm we have inflicted on her by our irresponsible use and abuse of the goods with which God has endowed her. We have come to see ourselves as her lords and masters, entitled to plunder her at will. The violence present in our hearts, wounded by sin, is also reflected in the symptoms of sickness evident in the soil, in the water, in the air and in all forms of life. This is why the earth herself, burdened and laid waste, is among the most abandoned and maltreated of our poor; she “groans in travail” (Rom 8:22). We have forgotten that we ourselves are dust of the earth (cf. Gen 2:7); our very bodies are made up of her elements, we breathe her air and we receive life and refreshment from her waters (Laudato Si 2.)”.

Our work is at the intersections of mental health, social justice, and environmentalism to bring positive transformation, equity and healing for the Earth, ourselves, and our communities. Our goal is to increase access to and knowledge about Ecotherapy for Everyone for peace and justice.

A charity that campaigns to make our streets better for walking and wheeling.

Lowimpact.org has a mission to help people live more sustainably. But biodiversity loss and global warming have grown rapidly, and are accelerating, with nothing in place to stop them.

We’re living through dangerous times. Below is a huge resource bank for gaining the skills for low-impact living, self-provisioning, preparing for a very different future, and joining the commons economy. Information is provided in partnership with a network of like-minded people, businesses & organisations.

Moral Imaginations, led by Phoebe Tickell, are doing amazing work around a concept called Imagination Activism. The link here tells the story of our work with a London council to build “Imagination Activism” throughout the organisation, rippling out into the local borough to work with communities. Over 8 weeks, Moral Imaginations trained 32 Camden council officers, from repairs to planners, in a course designed to expand their imaginations and equip them with tools to be ambassadors for the imagination within the organisation. People learned how to include future generations in decision-making, ask the question ‘What would Nature say, if Nature had a voice?’, and stand up to business as usual, building the confidence to speak up for what they believe matters.

Imagination Activism is an approach which trains people to build and stretch their imaginations to think and see differently and create new systems from those perspectives. It is about shifting perception and translating that into action that wasn’t previously deemed possible.

The training unleashed a wave of energy and change throughout the council, built psychological safety, and grew long-term, ethical thinking. We are now working with Camden to embed this thinking into the governance of the organisation, bringing future generations, nature and ancestors into decision making, and expanding out the training to others, including Camden’s senior leadership, to continue building the movement.

MovingBeyond is an initiative that brings together leaders from business, government, charity and voluntary sectors to accelerate the UK’s response to climate change and build a more sustainable way of life. Each part of the overall social, economic and environmental system is dependent on each other. We look to move beyond paradigms that keep us separate and stuck at a personal, organisation and system level. We’re on a 10-year journey – moving beyond biases and stepping into communities to experience issues faced by different parts of the country. Sound like something you could get involved in?

We recognise ‘activism’ works at all levels – within government, investors, business, and wider society. We know its mission critical that our inner activist needs to be nourished and taken care of, in order for us to go out in the world and do what needs to be done. The journey is hard. The path is far from clear. For us to create a brave new world, we need to sense that we’re all in it together. This is what MovingBeyond is all about.

The Mycelium Map connects people in their local communities to take action on climate change. It provides a comprehensive mapping and listing of local climate action groups in the Chiltern area, from small neighbourhood initiatives to large-scale organisations. With the Mycelium Map, you can find the groups closest to you, learn more about their activities and join their efforts to tackle the climate-nature crisis.

When people see how many support organisations are springing up to help decelerate the climate-nature emergency, a wider sense of confidence can replace the current sense of powerlessness. We don’t need to wait for a peaceful, grassroots, climate-nature movement to happen: we are already here! And the Mycelium Map makes this reality visible.

Who is it for?
Green community organisations, sustainability-focused SMEs, faith groups, schools, local councils and the public: in other words, everyone who lives in the area. As the climate-nature crisis presses ever closer, and climate anxiety spreads, communities need support to become more resilient both in practical and psychological ways. The Mycelium Map helps communities grow stronger and greener fast, by joining the green dots.

And all this high-quality promotion is available to community groups via the Map for free.

The Map is also for green companies. Businesses would also strongly benefit being on the Mycelium Map because it provides them (as explained above) not only with convenient, low-cost promotion but ‘warm leads’, since their goods and services are being seen by individuals and members of community groups actively interested in greener ways of living.

They publish several very good reports on the state of preparedness in the UK.

The National Preparedness Commission (NPC) is an independent and non-political body, whose fundamental objective is to promote policies and actions to help the UK be significantly better prepared to avoid, mitigate, respond to, and recover from major shocks, threats and challenges.

In recent years a series of high-impact events have demonstrated how easily our established way of life can be disrupted by major events.  Covid-19 not only brought wide-ranging economic consequences but has changed societal norms and working arrangements including the balance between citizens and their governments. The tectonic plates of geopolitics have also shifted in recent times.  Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine, coups in former African colonies and events in the Levant have all piled pressure on the post-WWII rules-based world order, while climate change is adding an, as yet, uncontrollable degree of uncertainty to governments and societies.

As a result we face new demands on how we strengthen ourselves, our physical, social and IT infrastructures, and our economic and financial systems, to cope and adapt to whatever arises. Individually and in combination, they affect how we mitigate and prepare to respond to the risks we face as a nation. The National Preparedness Commission was created to promote better readiness for a major crisis or incident – seeking to achieve this by supporting policy change and other activities that will enable the UK to prevent, withstand, recover and ‘build back better’ from major disruptions. The Commission’s work is both strategic and practical.  Recognising that what is needed to be better prepared for many shocks is the same whatever the initiating crisis or incident, we believe a ‘threat agnostic’ ‘whole system’ approach to preparedness is needed alongside the existing focus on specific known risks.  We think the time has come to stop merely ‘admiring the problem’, and to bring decision-makers and experts from different sectors together to tackle issues head on, and harness collective capability and insight.

Preparedness is everyone’s business, and it will take the participation of every element of society to respond to the challenge. The National Preparedness Commission is committed to enabling a better-prepared UK.

All NZLA Members commit to: (1) reducing operational emissions by at least 50% by 2030 from 2019 levels; (2) contributing pro bono time to projects to achieve climate objectives; (3) building capacity among all their lawyers; and (4) providing net zero aligned advice.

Narratives are powerful and they have a subtle yet tremendous influence on how we perceive the world, structure our society, and make choices in our daily lives. By examining our social narratives we can begin to see the silent forces at play and understand the power of creating “new narratives” towards a world that’s more equitable, sustainable, and fulfilling for all.

Mission
The primary purpose of the New Narrative is to take a critical look at the social narratives that guide our world and create a dialogue on whether or not these narratives serve us, and if not, what new narratives we can create in their place. A big part of this process is storytelling. By understanding and sharing our own stories and experiences, we can begin to see the narratives that have had the most influence on us, craft new stories, and shape the world towards the narratives we share.

A charity, where the aim is for everyone in towns and cities across the UK to be within walking distance of a thriving, community-run orchard.  They offer skills training, and are looking for volunteers.

Parents For Future UK has a network of over 25,000 supporters. We act through building a resilient community, peaceful actions, and creative communications. All our campaigning is rooted in the latest climate science.

Formed in 2019 by a small group of mums, our aim was to inspire and engage more adults to join in the youth climate strikes. We realised that the climate crisis will impact all children, that leaders aren’t doing enough to protect our kids and that parents have power if we work together. Today we are the biggest parent climate movement in the UK – and growing fast. We value diverse ideas and voices and have built a supportive, inclusive, thriving community online and offline, with over 25 local groups across the UK.

The People’s Plan for Nature is a plan created for the people, by the people of the UK – a vision for the future of nature, and the actions we must all take to protect and renew it.

With input from thousands of people from across the UK, the People’s Plan for Nature calls for urgent, immediate action – from governments, businesses, charities, organisations, farmers and communities – to protect and fundamentally change how we value nature.

Perspectiva is a community of expert generalists working on an urgent one hundred year project to improve the relationships between systems, souls and society in theory and practice. We are scholars, artists, activists, futurists and seekers who believe credible hope for the first truly planetary civilisation lies in forms of economic restraint and political cooperation that are beyond prevailing epistemic capacities and spiritual sensibilities.

Our charitable purpose is therefore to develop an applied philosophy of education for individual and collective realisation in the service of averting societal collapse; and in the spirit of serious play and ambitious humility to cultivate the imaginative and emotional capacity required to usher in a world that is, at the very least, technologically wise and ecologically sound. We believe the world’s major challenges stem from a crisis of perception and imagination, and the failure of political culture to honour the fullness of reality. We are fascinated by the myriad ways in which our tacitly held worldviews shape our judgement, and how spiritual needs for security, meaning and purpose indirectly create political and economic outcomes.

Founded by Thomas Huebl, The Pocket Project is a non-profit organization dedicated to growing a culture of trauma-informed care. We develop training, consulting and social impact projects that contribute to the global restoration movement. ​We provide education and consultancy to drive the widespread adoption of trauma-informed approaches across communities, organizations, and government bodies. We spread trauma-informed care, understanding that individual healing is inseparable from collective healing. Both are necessary to address the great challenges of our times.

Our Mission
Founded in 2003, Post Carbon Institute’s mission is to lead the transition to a more resilient, equitable, and sustainable world by providing individuals and communities with the resources needed to understand and respond to the interrelated ecological, economic, energy, and equity crises of the 21st century.

Our Vision
We envision a world where resilient, just, and sustainable communities coexist with nature, thrive within ecological bounds, and provide greater protection for both human and non-human lives.

The Issues We Address
Humanity is experiencing a dangerous confluence of crises in interrelated environmental and social systems—a ‘polycrisis’ that threatens the underpinnings of modern civilization. Post Carbon Institute believes that the best way to confront this challenge is to build awareness of (a) the polycrisis, its drivers, and its trajectory, and (b) community resilience-building as an ideal response. Our specific areas of focus are:

The Big Picture. The interrelated crises of the 21st century can’t be solved with simple technical adjustments. Understanding and responding to them intelligently requires us to think in terms of systems.
The Great Unraveling. Humanity is entering the Great Unraveling—a time which individual impacts are compounding to threaten the very environmental and social systems that support modern human civilization.
Community Resilience. A resilient community is one that can maintain its essential identity while adapting to change. Building community resilience is a critical response to the sustainability crises of the 21st century.
The Energy Transition. We can no longer ignore the ever-rising financial, social, and environmental costs of fossil fuels; nor can we ignore questions about what a truly renewable energy future will look like.
Limits to Growth. The sustainability challenges humanity faces are interrelated facets of one essential truth: the planet can not support ever-more economic growth and resource consumption.

The Progress Playbook focuses on proven ideas for a better world. We cover the policies and projects that are succeeding in driving sustainable development, and that could be replicated elsewhere in the world. This publication is intended to be a resource for policymakers, business leaders, civil society organisations, and ordinary citizens.

We commit to publishing only well-researched, objective and accurate information.

As Psychologists for Future / Psychotherapists for Future (Psy4F) we apply our psychological and psychotherapeutic expertise towards:

• the rapid and comprehensive resolution of the socio-ecological crises;
• the promotion of a sustainable, healthy, democratic, socially and globally just future.

The ruthless exploitation of ecosystems, living beings and resources is becoming more and more drastically evident in multiple crises: among others, the climate crisis, the biodiversity crisis, the destruction of nature, environmental pollution, large-scale animal cruelty and resource crises. This has strong societal disruptive potential and far-reaching social consequences such as increasing conflicts, bigotry, psychological distress, diseases, poverty, hunger, forced migration, disputes about the distribution of resources, or wars. This presents a severe danger to democracies worldwide. Our livelihoods and future are under considerable threat.

At this moment in time, radical change is needed. We must transform society at every level to halve emissions by 2030. But the advertising marketing and communications industry helps create a culture of consumerism which is contributing more than ever to the climate crisis. We believe our industry can redirect its creative superpowers to help drive sustainable behaviour and rapidly transform society. Our vision is of an advertising industry transformed in service of a thriving future. We believe we can get there. Like many good ideas, Purpose Disruptors started in a pub. Three like-minded climate-concerned industry insiders met to discuss the question:

The better I am at my job the worse I’m making the climate crisis, what do I do about that?

Lisa, Rob and Jonathan founded Purpose Disruptors, to start the conversation and help create change from within the industry. In three years we’ve built a network of 4,000 industry insiders, premiered work at COP26 and COP27, been recognised as Campaign Magazine’s Trailblazers in 2021, and shared work at over 50 events including Cannes Lions and AdWeek Europe.

Re-Action amplifies the voice and impact of sustainability pioneers in the outdoor sports sector. We build our impact by engaging with existing outdoor sports communities.

How? Through a collective of kindred spirits. Working together we share the know-how to drive the future of conscious outdoor gear. Our members rescue products, revive them through repair and rebranding and repurpose them. They then redistribute items through resale, rental and donation and reallocate profits to regenerate the outdoors. Together, we make getting outdoors, running, cycling, climbing, surfing, sailing and participating in snow sports more affordable and accessible.

Regeneration is the radically new approach to the climate crisis, one that weaves justice, climate, biodiversity, and human dignity into a seamless tapestry of action, policy, and transformation that can end the climate crisis in one generation.

We are a team endeavoring to create a comprehensive list of Solutions and Challenges connected to addressing the climate emergency and regenerating planetary ecosystems. These are more than just descriptions. Each Nexus entry explores what can be done on all levels of agency, including individual, community, classroom, city, company, and government. For each topic, we curate organizations that are actively engaged, describe actions that can be taken, link to educational opportunities, and provide examples of transformation. We work collectively and collaboratively and are here to share our research and discoveries with you.

Rewilding offers hope. In a nutshell, it is the large-scale restoration of nature until it can take care of itself – and us – again. It’s about restoring nature’s remarkable web of life, including habitats, natural processes and, where appropriate, missing species.

Rewilding Britain wants to see rewilding flourishing across Britain, reconnecting us with nature, sustaining communities, and tackling the climate emergency and extinction crisis.

Help to restore, protect and care for the places our wildlife call home. Get closer to the nature you care about at over 170 RSPB reserves. By joining, you’ll help us protect wildlife for generations to come.

We are a diverse network of fellows and associates dedicated to delivering innovative systems solutions to the world’s most pressing problems through research, training, events and consultancy. We seek to:

• Contribute to the transformation of society, so that countries and communities can converge to similar levels of development within the limits of the earth’s resources, and with increasing equity for people today and for future generations.
• Help people prepare for a future in which disruptive change will happen with increasing speed, and will demand a high degree of adaptability.
• Build on the ideas expressed in the works of E. F. Schumacher, particularly working with nature, appropriate technology at the right scale, meaningful work, people-centred development, local actions, peace and non-violent approaches.

Source Nine started life in 2022 when an insights industry legend (Vincent Nolan of 2CV & Mermaid Gin) and transformative learning specialist (Rob Harrison-Plastow) met whilst helping climate campaigners to change tack and connect with larger audiences. They talked about how much of marketing had gotten lost in a sea of Big Data, AI and a focus on digital tactics.

How empathy was missing as a result of so many online echo chambers. And how now, more than ever, we needed new ways of looking at audiences and ourselves that were deeply human.

So they set about creating something different. A strategic insights company that helps good people do great things with emotion.

Stable Planet Alliance and its members are enabling new public policies and public narratives to bend the curve on population and consumption and reduce our impact on our planet and climate. We work through collaborative policy leadership and the amplification of civil society voices globally to develop an implement a five-year strategic plan engaging UN development staff, key member nations and blocs, and key NGOs, on new goals that support a healthy, stable, sustainable population, and a culture of material sufficiency rather than excess and waste.

A campaign dedicated to Stop Rosebank.  Rosebank is a planned new oil field 80 miles off the Shetland coast in the North Atlantic. The UK government has approved Norwegian oil giant and Britain’s biggest gas supplier Equinor’s application to start developing the Rosebank oil field. At nearly 500m barrels,2 Rosebank is the UK’s biggest undeveloped oil and gas field – dwarfing the nearby Cambo oil field, which drew huge protests in 2021. Ninety percent of Rosebank’s reserves are oil, not gas. Like 80% of all North Sea oil,3 the majority of Rosebank’s oil is expected to be put in tankers and exported for refining overseas, with only some sold back to the UK at market price. Rosebank’s oil will not lower UK fuel bills.

The UK public, however, would carry almost all the costs of developing Rosebank. Thanks to the UK government’s oil and gas subsidies, the UK public would hand over roughly £3 billion in tax breaks to Rosebank’s owners just to develop the field. Burning Rosebank’s oil and gas would produce over 200 million tonnes of CO2.5 To put this into context, the climate pollution from Rosebank’s reserves would be more than the combined annual CO2 emissions of all 28 low-income countries in the world, including Uganda, Ethiopia and Mozambique. In other words, emissions from this one UK field would be more than those created by the 700 million people in the world’s poorest countries in a year. These are among the same countries that have contributed the least to the climate crisis but are already experiencing the worst impacts of a warming planet. The emissions created just from extracting the oil from Rosebank would see the oil and gas industry blow past emissions reductions targets.

Rosebank’s development could also harm our seas and the diverse marine life they support: from delicate coral gardens to rare, deep sea sponges; from clams that live to hundreds of years old, to whales and dolphins. The development would see a pipeline laid through a protected area of the North Sea.

Provider of bespoke training in sustainability.  Our purpose is to inspire learning and empower change. Our vision is to redefine professional learning and development. Our mission is to empower professionals to make the world a better place by delivering the most comprehensive, authoritative and engaging learning platform in the world.

One of the most important things we can all do is talk about climate change in our daily lives – climate conversations play a huge role in creating social change. We take our cues about what’s important from what we hear our family, friends, colleagues and neighbours talking about. Politicians need strong social consent to implement successful climate policies.

But talking about climate change, especially beyond the green bubble, is hard. That’s why we’ve produced an evidence-based, practical guide to help make those conversations easier and more meaningful – and to come out of them feeling inspired and connected. Our ‘Talking climate handbook‘ is the result of a collaboration with EIT Climate-KIC. It is partly based on a citizen science project with over 550 individuals from over 50 countries. Participants joined several training webinars (see below) and fed back the results of their conversations to the project team.

One week. Together. To make sense of the defining crisis of our time.
To get ready for the defining adventure of our time.
The environment is breaking down and the climate is changing rapidly. The Week is a group experience to help us see what’s coming and what we can do about it.

A global community practising, educating and living a framework called ‘Triple Wellbeing’:  Self-Care, People-Care and Earth-Care.  Provides resources for educators and leaders and young people.

A movement of communities coming together to reimagine and rebuild our world.

Transition is a movement that has been growing since 2005. Community-led Transition groups are working for a low-carbon, socially just future with resilient communities, more active participation in society, and caring culture focused on supporting each other. In practice, they are using participatory methods to imagine the changes we need, setting up renewable energy projects, re-localising food systems, and creating community and green spaces. They are nurturing the Inner Transition of the cultural and mindset changes that support social and environmental change. They are sparking entrepreneurship, working with municipalities, building community connection and care, repairing and re-skilling.

The community level of scale has huge potential to influence change and is a crucial part of developing and guiding social and economic systems toward sustainability, social justice and equity. There is an increasing recognition that top-down approaches are not sufficient alone to affect change and need to be combined with community-level responses.

It’s an approach that has spread now to over 48 countries, in thousands of groups: in towns, villages, cities, Universities, schools. Around the world, there are 23 Transition Hubs that support and connect Transition groups in their country/region and connect internationally. One of the key ways Transition spreads is through telling inspiring stories, and that’s what we aim to do on this website. We really hope you feel inspired to take part, we’d be honoured if you did.

Trees for Life is a rewilding charity based in Scotland, committed to creating large-scale environmental change in the Scottish Highlands. Focused on restoring the once-extensive Caledonian forest, the charity’s vision includes the rejuvenation of entire ecosystems. Our efforts aim to foster biodiversity and encourage the natural processes that sustain life in our ancient woodlands.

A significant part of Trees for Life’s work involves collaborating with various stakeholders, including local communities, other conservation groups, landowners, and volunteers, to broaden our impact on the landscape. Working with people is essential to our mission to rewild the Scottish Highlands and, by doing so, providing a solution to the climate and biodiversity crises.

Trees for Life is also working to protect existing species and promote reintroductions of new keystone species, notably creating new populations of red squirrels and championing the expansion of beaver to their original habitats. These reintroductions are vital for ecological balance, playing a crucial role in habitat creation and maintenance. Trees for Life is not only restoring a vital part of Scotland’s natural heritage but also creating a living, thriving landscape where wildlife and people can flourish together.

Our MISSION is to mobilise and empower young people to take positive action for global climate justice. We believe that climate change is imminent, man-made, and will exacerbate the already damaging structures of oppression that exist in our society. We therefore strive to not only tackle climate change at its core, but to challenge the roots of social and climate injustice, creating a better world for all.

We are a group of 18-29 year olds who volunteer and collaborate to work towards creating our VISION of a just, sustainable world in which current and future generations enjoy and protect a healthy environment.

Everything we do is guided by our VALUES which are amplifying youth voices, systemic change, non-violence, transparency, anti-oppression, inclusivity, diversity and independence.

Determined to promote vegan lifestyles for the benefit of animals, people and the environment.

Compassionate and steadfast leaders, those that Meg refers to as Warriors for the Human Spirit, rise in every culture when the world seems to be teetering on the edge of change.

Standing on the precipice of an uncertain future evokes fear and anxiety, causing increased tension, conflict, and polarisation. It is in these liminal spaces that these leaders thrive because they share a sacred value: they commit to protect and preserve the human spirit and the spirit of life, and to guide the way into the unknown that creates possibility for a more just and generative future. Armed with compassion and insight, they are resilient, do what needs to be done, and do not falter when they encounter setbacks.

When we consciously commit to train as a leader that is ready to serve the needs of our time, we are taking our place in history. Countless others have gone before us to serve the needs of their time. Personal family lineages are filled with these kinds of leaders: those who have fought for justice, who have been displaced, who have sacrificed themselves for the greater good, who migrated, who endured poverty, conflicts, and natural disasters. Without their courage, we wouldn’t be here.

We invite you along on this journey if you are ready to join this lineage of brave, generous, and noble people who offered their hearts, hands, and spirits for what they believed in, for what they knew must change. A journey of inner discovery and development, facilitated by Meg Wheatley, and co-created with the Sustainability Institute. This training will deepen your resolve, expand your resilience, and develop your wisdom to lead with an open heart that subverts the current paradigm of domination and fear

Our purpose is to bring wildlife back, to empower people to take meaningful action for nature, and to create an inclusive society where nature matters.
Our vision is of a thriving natural world, with our wildlife and natural habitats playing a valued role in addressing the climate and ecological emergencies, and everyone inspired to get involved in nature’s recovery.

An organisation doing a lot on agroforestry.

Youngwilders is a non-profit focused on accelerating nature recovery in the UK and involving young people in the process and movement.

Accelerating nature recovery in the UK.  The problem – The UK’s ecological health is in the bottom 10% on Earth. Our approach – By working with landowners and partner organisations, we facilitate small-scale youth-led nature recovery projects across the UK which deliver benefits for wildlife, biodiversity and the climate.

​Involving young people in the nature recovery movement. The problem – Over 80% of UK young people are eager to take action to help the environment but only 1 in 5 believe they are being listened to on environmental issues. Our approach – All of our nature recovery projects are conceived, designed and delivered by young people aged 18-30. We provide young people with practical experience in nature recovery work, an opportunity to feel more connected to nature and to have a real say in conservation decisions. We also run a experimental mix of youth engagement activities including our yearly Youth Rewilding Summit ‘Resurgence’ and our magazine Overgrowth.
