A guide to running events focused on climate action, net zero and climate awareness.
This guide helps you organise a stakeholder event, or series of events, focused on climate action, net zero and climate awareness in your workplace or community.
It lists simple activities that help explain climate change, carbon emissions and climate impacts while encouraging practical action. Your audience can take part in talks, workshops, debates and interactive activities that connect climate issues with real decisions and everyday choices.
This guide supports organisers planning climate action, net zero or climate awareness days and weeks across their organisations or communities. It is useful for sustainability teams, energy managers, facilities teams, environmental coordinators and staff groups that run climate engagement activities.
