The DIY Guide to Climate Action Groups
Climate Action Groups are for people who want to come together to share thoughts, ideas, feelings and concerns on climate change and to then take decisive action within their local communities.
This toolkit gives you all the information you need to set up your own climate action groups in your community. It includes:
- How to plan, publicise and get the best out of your Matchmaker (the event that creates and launches the Climate Action Groups)
- A step-by-step guide to facilitating the Matchmaker and final evaluation event
- A guide for Climate Action Group Convenors who coordinate each resulting group including tips on how to chair meetings and how to keep the momentum going.
- An appendices section including sample publicity materials and action plans.
In addition to the toolkit, COIN offers free support and advice to those who want to set up Climate Action Groups including facilitation of the Matchmaker (if required) and assistance for those looking to obtain funding to support their groups.
