ABOUT THE CLIMATE COALITION

The Climate Coalition is the UK’s biggest group of people dedicated to action on climate change with a combined supporter base of more than 22 million people. We encompass over 130 organisations spanning nature, environment, international development, faith, community and women’s groups – from the National Trust to the NUS, WWF to the Women’s Institute, the RSPB to Islamic Relief. 

We bring people from all walks of life together to use their voices to ask decision-makers to take urgent action to tackle climate change and protect what we love from its worst impacts. In the coming year, we will be working with our members to mobilise networks and individuals in local communities to demonstrate the public mandate for urgent political action.

The Climate Coalition is coordinated by a small central secretariat team, working closely with colleagues from our member organisations.
