Our vision is for vibrant local democracies of councils and residents to deliver climate action, making communities safer and healthier. Your support will help us work with councils and communities to advance net zero and assess this progress in the UK’s only Council Climate Action Scorecards.

UK councils, working with their local community, have set ambitious targets to reach net zero by 2050 or sooner but lack the funding, powers and guidance to do this effectively. The public want to see action on climate but, despite council climate declarations, local government action is slow and hard to understand. We aim to support further and faster place-based climate action to create more greener, resilient and equitable communities.
Climate Emergency UK inspires and supports those pushing for local climate action. We provide advice, knowledge and skills to those working for local climate action and facilitate peer-learning and provide education to campaigners, councillors and council staff on how councils work and how to advocate for and accelerate council climate action through our Action Scorecards. We also advocate nationally for a funded legal duty for councils to act on the climate.
