Reducing carbon emissions and changing our energy usage needs everyone’s participation. Let’s put people at the centre of the change by supporting more communities and local councils to take effective local climate action, together, ensuring the energy system works for people and the environment.

Situation
One of the main causes of climate change is the way we produce and use energy. This needs to change, urgently, on a local and global scale, to our buildings, neighbourhoods, landscapes, and for everyone. To transform the UK’s energy system, we need local energy initiatives. We are contacted by many community organisations wanting to act but struggling with the size of the problem and prioritising. CSE provides support to empower communities to take impactful action.
Solution
At CSE, we bring people together to transform the energy system and tackle the climate emergency. Through advice, workshops and training, we inspire groups to take action to change behaviour and mindsets at a local level. Our tools and resources help community organisations design ways to engage others, generate more renewable energy, improve energy efficiency of homes, and reduce fuel poverty. Together, we can build an understanding and commitment to change.
