Climate information and resources includes links to the most recent scientific publications, policy updates, and explanatory resources. We have also highlighted some links that are useful for charities specifically, including guidance from the UK Charity Commission, fact sheets, and news about climate change projects.
Taking a collaborative approach can help charities share knowledge and resources and work to achieve shared goals. Here we have included opportunities for charities to do just this in a range of different ways.
These resources get into the specifics of how different elements of charitable organisations can engage with climate action and sustainability.
Climate change touches upon a wide range of charitable causes. Here, we are building a list of resources to help organisations tackling any challenge incorporate today’s climate crisis within their work.
The sustainability of organisation refers to the direct impact of their operations upon the planet. These resources include guidance on how to reduce plastic pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, how to have confidence in your environmental claims, how to handle finances with environmental sustainability in mind, how to consider the climate resilience of your organisation, and relevant information for working with suppliers.
To give you an idea of how other charities are doing it, here are some examples of the official documents you can create to support your sustainability and climate action work. Use these to develop your own policies, strategies, and codes of conduct.
Thinking about how we can tackle climate change in our personal lives, we are gathering the best resources that can help each of us engage with and confront the crisis.
