Who are Climate Action Leicester and Leicestershire? We’re a group of people living in Leicester and Leicestershire who are terrified and inspired by the climate crisis and climate justice and are working together to address these issues. Our group started in October 2019 and we’d love you to join us.

Our Climate friendly housing group is extra busy at the moment because Leicester’s Local Plan is at it’s final stage before becoming active planning policy.

• You can see more about our Local Plan work here.
• Please come to our Climate Ready Housing Demo – there’s more info and you can sign up so we know you’re coming here.
• And if you’re interested in hearing more about our planning and housing work, we are having a get together on the evening of Weds 16th Oct. There will be bring and share food, followed by a talk and discussion about our work. You can find out more and sign up here to join us – we’d love to see you.

Climate Action is running an ongoing campaign to get our local Council-run Government Pension Scheme to stop supporting fossil fuel companies by investing in them and instead to publically end these investments. While they make millions in profits as a result of the energy crisis, fossil fuel companies are also continuing to open up ever more oil, gas and coal reserves, and exploiting communities from Mozambique to Alaska. They are knowingly driving the climate crisis, which disproportionately impacts on the Global South. You can see more info about this campaign here – including our local petition for people living in Leicester, Rutland and Leicestershire to sign, briefings on their NetZero consultation and much more. We’d love you to get involved: Email leicsdivest[@]gmail.com for info about our next meeting or to join our WhatsApp group.
