About Climate Connected

This project seeks to build an easy to use toolkit which supports communities to take a number of steps necessary to build climate action. There will be supports to build a decarbonisation committee for the community including a decarbonisation plan for the local area. This will include supports to engage the people of the community to measure the carbon intensity of a myriad of behaviours and actions of residents’ lifestyles.

Build a Community Structure

Getting an effective team together is a vital step in the community journey to sustainability. We have broken down the actions and resources needed to do this into five key areas where you can build your capacities and skills.
