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.

The Climate of Love Collective is a new online arts platform in-development for artists to show their creative responses to climate change.  The hope is to connect more people with the deeper causes of this emergency – maybe music and art can help to re-unite us in the same harmonious way our environment has always done.

Whatever the situation, every one of us needs first to re-connect at these deeper, shared levels – then act from these places in our hearts. The Climate Of Love album by Jackson Damian launched the collective and we have now invited first submissions from artists for the gallery.

The Climate Party is a new political movement with the sole aim of leading the UK to achieve zero carbon emissions by 2030, one which capitalises on the vast opportunity it presents for the UK economy.

At The Climate Reality Project, our global network of 3.5 million is working to build a just and sustainable true net zero future. Join us. GET THE TOOLS, TRAINING, AND NETWORK TO HELP STOP GLOBAL WARMING AND BUILD A NET ZERO FUTURE FOR THE EARTH. We train and mobilize people worldwide with four global campaigns to accelerate climate action this decade and help us reach true net zero by 2050 – the point where global warming can stop in as little as three-to-five years and the Earth begins to heal.

Four main campaigns:  Reducing emissions, Calling out Greenwashing, Financing a Just Transition and Strengthening International Cooperation on Climate.

A youth-led community, resourcing a generation of climate leaders.

CLIMATE ANXIETY, BURNOUT AND THE MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS ARE AT AN ALL-TIME HIGH.
The Resilience Project was created to enable other young people concerned about climate to find their peace, their power and their people.

We take the carbon out of business. At Climeaction we take a whole operations approach to decarbonization – working across all business functions to develop an integrated approach to reducing your emissions and improving your ESG performance all while reducing operating costs. Climeaction is an truly independent, Employee Owned, B Corp Certified company. When we say “Climate Action Solutions for All” we mean it – Decarbonization of business requires solutions at all levels of the supply chain. To understand how to decarbonize large organizations, it is essential that we understand the challenges their supply chains face. Every scale of business must reduce emissions at the same time.

Most people agree on the need to tackle climate change and restore the balance between people and nature. We believe it is possible to meet that challenge head on but we must act now, and work together, in order to be successful. From our 40 years of experience, we know that efforts to tackle climate change needs to come from the bottom-up as well as the top-down and we can help engage communities in conversations and action around the climate and nature emergency who might not normally get involved or get their voices heard.

Our expert staff are supporting communities to take practical action in their local areas. Doing jobs that protect the environment. Creating places that help to protect us from the impacts of climate change. Supporting young people to become the next generation of green leaders. Delivering a wide range of projects to make the places where they live fit for a greener future.

We put local people at the heart of a global conversation.

The brainchild of Daniel Schmachtenberger, The Consilience Project publishes novel research at the leading edges of global risk mitigation, governance design and culture. Our content explores the key challenges and existential threats facing humanity, and the underlying problems with current approaches for addressing them. We outline how our social systems and institutions need to be redesigned if free, open, non-authoritarian societies are to survive. At no other point in history has humanity faced such a wide range of novel catastrophic risks. Our civilization has never been more vast, complicated, and fragile. This systemic fragility is exacerbated by new technologies, geopolitical instability, an ecological crisis and a reliance on global economic supply chains. These interlocking, interrelated problems are known collectively as the metacrisis. The Consilience Project’s primary aim is to clarify and reveal the nature of the metacrisis to enable comprehensive solutions to global problems. Our work recognizes the interconnectedness of humanity’s challenges: any solution must factor the underlying drivers of each one.

Creative Carbon Scotland believes in the essential role of the arts, screen, cultural and creative industries in contributing to the transformational change to a more environmentally sustainable Scotland.

We work directly with individuals, organisations and strategic bodies engaged across cultural and sustainability sectors to harness the role of culture in achieving this change. Through all our work, events and projects, we combine strategic expertise and consultancy, bespoke carbon management training and guidance, and a range of programmes supporting the development of artistic practices that address sustainability and climate change. Creative Carbon Scotland is committed to actively promoting equality and diversity in all our work, events and recruitment processes. We recognise that a diverse and inclusive movement is critical to solving climate change and that we must ensure that those directly impacted – particularly those who have been excluded in the past – are at the centre of the movement for change. We value the range of views and experiences that our team members, sector colleagues and all those we work with contribute to our thinking.

Culture Hack Labs (CHL) is a not-for-profit consultancy that supports organizations, social movements and activists to create cultural interventions for systems change.

Our mission is to change the cultural narratives that create and justify ecological breakdown, extraction and structural inequality.

About the Dark Mountain Project. In 2009, two English writers published a manifesto. Out of that manifesto grew a cultural movement: a rooted and branching network of creative activity, centred on the Dark Mountain journal, sustained by the work of a growing gang of collaborators and contributors, as well as the support of thousands of readers around the world.
Together, we are walking away from the stories that our societies like to tell themselves, the stories that prevent us seeing clearly the extent of the ecological, social and cultural unravelling that is now underway. We are making art that doesn’t take the centrality of humans for granted. We are tracing the deep cultural roots of the mess the world is in. And we are looking for other stories, ones that can help us make sense of a time of disruption and uncertainty.

The Deep Adaptation Forum (DAF)

DAF is dedicated “to embodying and enabling loving responses to our predicament”. Our “predicament” is societal collapse arising from our climate emergency, global economic and environmental crises, species extinction, soil degradation, extreme weather events, forced migration, historical and systemic planet and people abuse, and much more. On this website, we use the terms societal collapse or breakdown to describe the ending of our modern ways of sustaining human life. Different people within DAF view this as likely, inevitable or already happening. Societal collapse includes limited or nonexistent access to food, shelter, safety, pleasure, identity, and meaning, as well the failure of our institutions and social structures.

The DA Forum emerged from Professor Jem Bendell’s academic paper, published in 2018 and revised in 2020. Both versions explore personal and collective changes to help people understand, prepare for, and live with societal disruption and collapse in as loving a way as possible. Bendell offers The Four Rs to help us define and live loving responses. Everywhere, people are beginning to understand it is too late to avert a global environmental catastrophe. Many humans and nonhumans in more vulnerable parts of the world are already deeply affected. People are expressing fear and unease, sometimes in destructive ways. As the effects of climate chaos escalate, collective panic could bring about extreme forms of “othering,” such as xenophobia, racism, tribalism, cultural exclusion, and fascism. No one knows exactly what will happen, where, or when. But DAF recognizes that biosphere and climate disruptions are forcing humans and other species to seek new ways and places to live. We are also keenly aware that although societal collapse is a global predicament, racialized and Indigenous communities, and almost all non-human species, suffer first and most.

The DA Forum invites participants to understand collapse from a global and historical perspective, rather than something recently arising. DA Forum participants recognize that many communities have already experienced the trauma of collapse, whether from natural disasters or due to war, slavery, colonization, and/or other social injustices. These injustices, the associated traumas and their consequences are still being experienced by the global majority today. Injustice is the foundation of our privileged societies and economies. DAF recognizes the need for acknowledging injustices and the importance of reconciliation. The DA Forum stands in solidarity with all affected beings, human and more-than-human. We share learnings that may prevent injustices from continuing and promote response-ability awareness.

The DAF community currently has about 15,000 participants from many backgrounds and countries. Adapting to all time zones, people connect with each other via live video or on blogs and social media. To promote global interweaving, DAF hosts many weekly and monthly events. DA Forum events address the complex challenges of being, knowing and doing as our environment and society collapse.

The Deer Wood Trust actively promotes and demonstrates Native Woodland conservation & regeneration.
We work with marginalised, disadvantaged, mentally or physically challenged young people and all who would benefit from spending good quality time in a safe and well-held space, through learning and well-being activities in Deer Wood.  To promote and demonstrate different aspects of Sustainable Living.

Doughnut Economics Action Lab (DEAL), based on the work by Kate Raworth, is part of the emerging global movement of new economic thinking and doing. Our aim is to help create 21st century economies that are regenerative and distributive by design, so that they can meet the needs of all people within the means of the living planet. We call this Doughnut Economics.

We work with changemakers worldwide – in communities, education, cities and places, business and government and more – who are turning the ideas of Doughnut Economics into transformative action and aiming to bring about systemic change. Our name is very intentional: we are focused on action and always learning through experiment. DEAL was founded as a Community Interest Company in July 2019, and we launched our Community Platform online in September 2020.

Real people. Real stories. Real action. Welcome to Eco Action Families! We aim to help you learn more about the ecological and climate crisis that we are all facing, and inspire you to take ACTION!

Action comes in many forms and works on many levels from personal changes in the home, to school and community campaigns, to national, political campaigning and civil disobedience. Often it starts with the urge to learn more and go beyond the mainstream media headlines. Something awakens in us as we notice for ourselves that all is not well in the world. We look at our loved ones, the places we cherish and the incredible gifts and beauty of nature and we realise that they desperately need protecting. Every bite we eat and every breath we take relies on a healthy environment, and yet we are destroying ecosystems, filling the world with toxic chemicals, plastic waste and carbon emmissions, whilst consuming, consuming, consuming….

This one precious and finite planet is our only home. The time has come for a different story….

Ecosystem Map is in beta at the moment. The Ecosystem Map enables global changemakers to explore and identify potential allies, contribute to the data, and help map the growing range of movements, organisations, funders, and more who are working to address the climate and ecological crisis. The Ecosystem Map is an online platform designed to facilitate and amplify the work of activists, NGOs and other climate actors looking to find and connect with new collaborators, partners, funders and allies. This database has grown to capture over 1,000 organisations.

Democracy: Reclaiming Local Politics
Peter Macfadyen was part of a group of independents who took control of Frome Town Council in 2011. In his words: “We were a bunch of people who’d never done it before, we got into power and we questioned all the rules, took most of them to pieces, and did things very differently.”Based on his experiences Peter wrote a book, and started a movement, called Flatpack Democracy – helping others to follow the same path and refashion the relationship between community levels of council and communities themselves.

Climate change. Inequality. Nature in crisis.
Unsustainable ways of living and working have got us here. Now it’s time to reset.
Forum for the Future is about change: what it means, why it’s needed and how to do it. We bring a focus on food, energy and business, and a unique blend of futures and systems-wide thinking.
All to reimagine the way the world works for a just and regenerative future. Why not get involved?

We are fighting for our future and our lives because they are directly threatened by the climate crisis and the ecological breakdown. We are taking action against it because we want to protect the beauty of the earth, the diversity of species and the lives of all beings. Our goal is to overcome the climate crisis and to create a society that lives in harmony with its fellow beings and its environment. Join us!

Founded in 2017 by husband and wife Jo and James Hand, Giki is an evidence-led B Corp and Social Enterprise. Our mission is to help people take more climate action.

To do this we work with companies to engage their employees on sustainability. Giki has worked with over 100 companies, across sectors and around the world, and we’ve been selected as a UN backed Race to Zero Accelerator for employee engagement.

We believe that there are many people who are ready, and willing, to take climate action but they need information, and inspiration, to help them start today. Our programme combines our team’s experience in sustainability, behaviour change, communications and the best practice we’ve seen from the leading companies worldwide to make this happen.

The Global Ecovillage Network‘s shared purpose is to link and support ecovillages, educate the world about them, and grow the regenerative movement – to inspire, scale and facilitate communities and people from all walks of life to become active participants in the transition to a resilient and regenerative human presence on Earth.

The world is going through a crisis of unprecedented global scale engendered by a dominant regime that has resulted in deepening inequalities, increasing deprivation in old and new forms, the destruction of ecosystems, catastrophic climate change, ruptures in socio-cultural fabrics, and the violent dispossession of living beings.

However, there is an increasing emergence and visibility of an immense variety of radical alternatives to this dominant regime, contesting its roots in capitalist, patriarchal, racist, statist, and anthropocentric forces. These range from initiatives with a specific focus like sustainable and holistic agriculture, community led water/energy/food sovereignty, solidarity and sharing economies, worker control of production facilities, resource/knowledge commons, and inter-ethnic peace and harmony, to more holistic or rounded transformations such as those being attempted by the Zapatista in Chiapas and the Kurds in Rojava. Alternatives also include the revival of ancient traditions and the emergence of new worldviews that re-establish humanity’s place within nature, as a basis for human dignity and equality.

The Global Tapestry of Alternatives (GTA) is an initiative seeking to create solidarity networks and strategic alliances amongst all these alternatives on local, regional and global levels. It locates itself in or helps initiate interactions among alternatives. It operates through varied and light structures, defined in each space, that are horizontal, democratic, inclusive and non-centralized, using diverse local languages and other ways of communicating. The initiative has no central structure or control mechanisms. It spreads step by step as an ever-expanding, complex set of tapestries, woven together by already existing communal or collective webs, building on already existing and new alternatives to dominant regimes. It promotes or joins regional, national and global encounters, when the conditions allow for them, as well as close and synergistic linkages with existing organizations, like the World Social Forum. A Global Tapestry of Alternatives is about creating spaces of collaboration and exchange, in order to learn about and from each other, critically but constructively challenge each other, offer active solidarity to each other whenever needed, interweave the initiatives in common actions, and give them visibility to inspire other people to create their own initiatives. It could facilitate people seeking transformative change going further along existing paths or forging new ones that strengthen alternatives wherever they are, hopefully eventually converging into a critical mass of alternative ways can support the conditions for the radical systemic changes we need.

Led by Purpose Disruptors and in collaboration with the Insight Climate Collective, Race to Zero, Stories for Life and over 200 industry professionals, Good Life 2030 is a project for the advertising industry to transform both itself and society in service of halving emissions by 2030 through the process of reimagining and redefining what a ‘good life’ looks and feels like, informed by real everyday people.

Since 1973 the Green Party has been leading the way on action to tackle the climate crisis and nature crisis. For five decades we have argued powerfully and persuasively in town halls, Westminster and Europe that rapid economic development, powered by fossil fuels and the pursuit of profit, is damaging people and planet and there must be a transition to a green future.

We have achieved a lot. Yet there is so much more to do in what is a “now or never” decade for climate action. WE URGENTLY NEED MORE GREEN MPS MAKING THE CASE FOR A FAIRER, GREENER COUNTRY

Ground Effect is an animist investment vehicle. We represent the interests of life on Earth to realize ecological and spiritual renewal.

In our worldview the Earth is vividly alive, we are alive with it, and everything is kin. This inspires our two central objectives:

1. To reunify humans as “nature,” and

2. To advance an animist worldview of interdependence between all beings

We support initiatives that place Earth’s living systems at the center of human economic and ethical considerations. This brings us into an active dialogue with emerging questions of how nature will be financialized, valued and priced. 

To approach this enquiry we set aside human exceptionalism, striving to include the perspectives of ecosystems, species and life-processes in our mindful capital deployment. Our investment commitment is to lend credence to daring undertakings that give nature and its stewards visibility and empowerment. We work to promote nature’s agency and regeneration within financial, political and technological systems. We do so with a sensitivity to how quantifying nature to satisfy market mechanisms could lead to its further abstraction, risking the alienation of humans from the aliveness of the world, and reducing our inheritance of billions of years of evolved life into an agreeable metric.

As Ground Effect, we seek to practice and advance multiple ways of seeing, feeling and relating to a wider planetary community of beings. We are electrified by the challenge of listening to, translating and embodying Earth’s many intelligences. This is how we try to humbly correct for the voicelessness and subordination of the larger web of life.

Our human bodies are thrillingly capable of perceiving and communing with all of life. We strive to awaken biophilia — the innate instinct to lovingly connect with the nature that we are — and to re-enchant humans to the beauty of the world.

With these principles, our aim is to conscientiously seek long-term environmental, social, and spiritual returns, guided by a profound reverence for the interconnectedness of all the beings of our biosphere.

We are a group of Hertfordshire residents who believe that we are facing existential threats brought about by climate change and other associated predicaments.

Convening a global conversation on the inner skills and qualities that matter.

The IDG Framework gives us a language to address the question of how humans can create a future worth living in.

In 2015, all members of the United Nations agreed on 17 goals to build a world of peace, dignity and prosperity on a healthy planet.

We are convinced that understanding and building inner skills is critical for developing a sustainable future for humanity and planet.

To understand these across the globe, we are convening a global conversation and helping shape a language for us to speak about the human potential to shape the change we need.

You can join in the conversation, and help to shape how these goals and skills are shared.

Insure Our Future is a global campaign of NGOs and social movements that hold the insurance industry accountable for its role in the climate crisis. We call on insurance companies to immediately stop insuring new fossil fuels and phase out support for existing coal, oil and gas projects.

Julie’s Bicycle works with Arts Council England to deliver an ambitious Environmental Programme. It provides resources, tools, and training to support cultural organisations to take climate action. We aim to empower the sector to rise to the challenges the climate crises presents, and to accelerate and scale our collective response.

The programme is for National Portfolio Organisations (NPOs), Investment Principle Organisations (IPSOs), but if you are from the wider cultural sector we’re also here to support you. Many of the resources from the programme are free and available to anyone working in arts and culture.

TRUTH
We are being lied to. We need to face up to the scale of the crisis that we are facing. Everything we know and love is threatened by the breakdown of our climate. Our economy, our homes our way of life. You, me, scientists, press, politicians, educators… everyone needs to face up to the reality of what is being done to us.

COMMUNITY
Every one of us feels alone in this. But when we come together, then we can start to grapple with the challenge of our lifetimes. When we come together we are powerful, and we can create meaningful change and make history. We come to talks and events, we cook and eat together, we train in nonviolent action and when we are ready we join our local group and take action.

ACTION
This is how civil resistance works: applying nonviolent pressure until we force change to happen. It’s how the Freedom Riders forced an end to segregated buses in 1961. It’s how disabled people won accessible transport in the nineties. It’s how we’ll win and force this criminal government to act on the unfolding climate disaster by stopping new oil and gas. No-one’s going to save us, we need to come together to do that for ourselves.

Larger Us is a community of change-makers who share the aim of bridging divides rather than deepening them, who want to transform relationships rather than defeat enemies, and who recognise that achieving these things is about psychology as much as politics.

A group of prominent lawyers are taking action in solidarity with all those on the frontline of the climate and ecological crises, in particular the younger generations, the peoples of the global South and those prosecuted and imprisoned for peaceful acts of conscience.

Lawyers Are Responsible aims to align the UK legal system with planetary conditions that are liveable for current and future generations by:

(i) delegitimising (whether through cultural, legal or regulatory means) legal and judicial support for acts which, according to the best available science, jeopardise the conditions which make the planet liveable; and

(ii) legitimising the acts of those who peacefully resist such conduct.

Since 2014, we’ve been on a mission to make borrowing better than buying for people & planet – more affordable, convenient, socially-rewarding & kinder to the planet.

Buying stuff from Amazon or Argos is convenient – but consumerism isn’t working for us, our purses or our planet.

Make My Money Matter works to transform the financial system, so it puts people and planet on a par with profit. There are trillions of pounds in UK pensions and banks – we believe that money should be moved from the destructive, harmful investments of the past, into those which help build a future we can be proud of.

The planet is facing a critical time. Two in five plant species are threatened with extinction, with huge implications for the future of all ecosystems.

The Seed Collection at the Millennium Seed Bank (MSB) is the most diverse wild plant species genetic resource in the world, with over 2.4 billion seeds representing almost 40,000 different species. Seed banks are a cost-effective tool for long-term ex-situ (away from their natural habitat) plant conservation. Collections are dried and frozen, preserved for the future. They provide an insurance policy against the threats plants face in the wild.

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.

Local MP Watch groups of concerned constituents, share their fears for the future with their representatives, draw attention to relevant information and encourage MPs to work to raise standards of integrity. On the environmental front, we encourage them to join groups such as the Conservative Environment Network, Socialist Environment, Resources Association, Labour Climate and Environmental Forum and UK100. We are pleased to ally with MPs and engage as critical friends. If all else fails, we will work to remove MPs we believe to be the greatest moral hazard or who block action on Net Zero.

Pioneered by Jon Alexander, author of the book “Citizens”.

When we think of ourselves as citizens rather than consumers, we’re more likely to participate, volunteer and come together to make our society stronger. That’s why our mission at New Citizenship Project is to catalyse a shift to a more participatory, citizen-led society. We call it the #CitizenShift. We create participatory strategies, cultures and projects that invite people to step into their power as citizens.

Supports people taking action to bring about change in the world.

They believe that poverty, inequality, climate change and disease are all symptoms of injustice that need to change.

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.
