We inspire and support UK council climate action, enabling communities and councils to reach net zero at the scale and pace needed - measured by our Council Climate Action Scorecards - https://councilclimatescorecards.uk/ https://climateemergency.uk/
β¨ In November, we mobilised alongside UK100 over 440 councillors from across England and from almost every major party sign an open letter in support of a climate duty and strengthened nature duties to be included in the Devolution Bill.

π It's Day 3 of the #ChristmasChallenge and today we're sharing Kelly's story! Kelly reflects on the Scorecards: βItβs not a competition, and the Scorecards donβt try to make it one. Weβve embraced the process because climate change has no borders.β
