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.
Our network is supported by a voluntary steering group made up of climate leaders from local businesses, the Council, University of Reading, 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 experiencing the effects of the climate crisis and contributing to it.
A climate-friendly Reading will be a better place to live - for ourselves and our children.
No single organisation can transform Reading's systems - we need to work together.
