Mobilising Low Carbon Communities

COIN has worked with communities since 2004 during which time we have organised talks and conferences, set up climate action groups, delivered trainings and given support to other climate change organisations.

Carbon Conversations:

In 2011 COIN took over the running of Carbon Conversations, a community climate change engagement programme.  For more information, please visit the Carbon Conversations website.

 

Training

We deliver a range of trainings to low carbon communities.  In 2010, we have provided trainings on climate change for Kidlington vs. Climate Change, Alresford Greening Campaign, SYSHP-Swansea Young Single Homeless Project, Stockport Homes, Vision 21, Swansea Environment Centre, Groundwork NW and Brighton Friend’s Centre.

Our trainings for Low Carbon Communities include:

Climate Change Events Updates

COIN sends out regular monthly-quarterly mailings to two mailing lists:

  • COIN Announce: News and updates on COIN's work.
  • Oxford Announce: News and updates on events taking place in Oxford, where COIN is based. Again, these events are not necessarily organised by COIN but we believe that they will be of interest to anyone who has an interest in COIN's work.

Subscribe: To subscribe to any of these lists, input your email on the "our newsletters" box to the left of this page.

Climate Action Groups

Climate Action Groups (CAGs) are groups of people  who work on a climate change theme of their choice over a six-month period. COIN has set up Climate Action Groups in various areas of the UK and is now supporting groups to develop and consolidate those groups.  Find out more...
