Climate Action Leeds is an ambitious five-year programme funded by The National Lottery Climate Action Fund. Climate Action Leeds provides a platform for people, organisations and communities to come together to take action on climate change, in Leeds and beyond. Our collective purpose is to help shape a Leeds which is zero carbon, nature friendly and socially just by the 2030s. Our approach is fo
cused on mobilising communities, campaign groups and sectors to plan and act together. Over 40 groups in Leeds contributed to planning the project, and it is supported by many more. We started out in 2020 as the Climate Emergency Community Action Programme (CECAP), and re-named as Climate Action Leeds in 2021. We hope to inspire every single Leeds resident to take action on climate change - now is the time. We see positive change happening through a three pronged approach of 'Learn, Act, Build'.

Climate Action Leeds has a clear set of shared values and principles that guide our actions and decisions. We don't know it all. We understand that this is an ongoing process of learning and unlearning, listening to each other, reflecting together, and finding new ways to understand and act out our values together. We believe in building power and capacity amongst communities to act and develop their own solutions. We are committing to being open, transparent and inclusive so everyone can participate - that means welcoming people of all ages, genders, colour, disability, religion and culture. We recognise climate injustice, and act in solidarity with communities who are least responsible for climate change and who are experiencing its impacts the most.
