We are tackling the climate emergency

Climate change is here, we need to act now.

At Locality we are moving towards net zero ourselves, influencing to achieve change, and supporting our members and others to take community-led action on climate.

We've undertaken research and developed practical tools to help community organisations measure their impact and decide what type of climate projects are right for them. And we partner with organisations like Centre for Sustainable Energy, who have tools to help community organisations:

We are piloting a programme to advise and support Locality members to take action on climate - anything from greening your building to developing a project in your community. If you're an essentials or membership plus member please contact us, we may be able to help.

Join our climate specialist group

From retrofitting to sustainable food networks, our members are at the forefront of the community response to the climate crisis. Join our climate specialist group today to learn and swap ideas with your peers.
