The Climate Action Toolkit

A full set of resources

We put communities at the heart of climate action – so more people can enjoy the benefits it brings. Benefits like new jobs, warmer homes and lower energy bills. And better health, access to nature, and protection from floods and heatwaves. 

We boost organisations and projects whose work is rooted in communities. Innovators who use their deep local knowledge to meet the needs of local people, and grow local economies. That are brave enough to take on the inter-linked challenges our communities face, and to work for a fairer zero carbon future.  

Ashden supports councils and community groups, schools and small businesses, and the larger organisations they partner with. Because they can deliver the inclusive, place-based climate action the UK needs. Whether that means solutions to fuel poverty, solar power for homes in low-income communities, or parks that improve people’s health and soak up dangerous downpours.  

Winners of the annual Ashden Awards play a key role in our UK work. We accelerate their growth – and share their stories to spark wider system change.

Our work 

We bring resources, connections, insights and publicity to Ashden Award winners and other organisations taking part in our projects and programmes. This helps them boost their impact, scale up and build new partnerships. We also bring organisations together. This can mean fostering holistic solutions for a particular place, or sharing insights and best practice.  

We also tell their stories to drive system change – showcasing proven solutions to funders, politicians and other influential audiences. This fuels nationwide progress on the biggest climate challenges. Issues like unlocking finance, securing strong and consistent policies, building the low-carbon workforce, and boosting public support for climate action.  

Our tools to create impact range from learning networks to original films, reports, events and our annual awards.

Sharing Spaces

The Sharing Spaces project has empowered communities to create climate action hubs in public buildings, often with support from their local authority. Running in a dozen London boroughs, these hubs have generated energy-saving advice sessions, tree-planting schemes, reuse and repair workshops, and many more engaging activities focused on local needs.
