We are Reading’s biggest network for collective action on climate change

We're here to help Reading achieve its goal to be net zero - and a better place to live - by 2030.

You can get involved as an individual, an organisation, or both. There are countless creative ways to be part of Reading's journey to net zero. (A good place to start? Adopt our Reading Climate Pledge for Individuals or Organisations!)

Our growing network is supported by a voluntary steering group made up of climate leaders from local businesses, the Council, university, charities and other organisations. Together we convene the annual Reading Climate Festival; our town’s 5-year Climate Emergency Action Plans; a newsletter and this website.

Reading is facing a climate crisis and we are all part of the solution

We can stop adding to the causes of this global crisis and build resilience to its effects

Joining forces will help us overcome challenges on the path to net zero

Priorities for 2024

In 2024 our focus is on Reading Climate Festival 2024 (running from 8 - 21 June this year) as well as a public participation campaign to create our town's next Climate Emergency Action Plan, covering the critical years from 2025 - 2030.

Our steering group brings people together for collective action and decision-making. If you spot an opportunity to contribute time or resources, please get in touch!
