We are a cross-sector initiative bringing the region together to tackle climate emergency, reverse ecological collapse and deliver an urgent and just transition. The creation of the North East England Climate Coalition is our region’s contribution, on behalf of future generations, to the urgent, radical and at scale response demanded by the global climate emergency. This response calls for net zero emissions which, if achieved, will mean that the birthplace of climate change – the North East of England – will be no longer contributing emissions, and can instead become a leader in our response to the climate emergency. Our mission To enable the people of the North East of England to confront the climate emergency using the hard lessons drawn from our past, the strengths of our community life in the present, and the hard science that must inform our future to guide and empower our actions to tackle the climate emergency, reverse ecological collapse and deliver an urgent and just transition.
