chart greener futures
We’re passionate about creating a future where every neighbourhood is vibrant
and green, every community is strong and able to shape its own destiny and
no-one is held back by their background or circumstances. We believe that
working with local communities to build their resilience is vital in facing up
to the challenges of a globalised economy and a changing climate. We know that
the negative effects of climate change and environmental breakdown impact first
and worst on those who have the least power in society, and who contribute least
to the cause of the crisis. A ‘just transition’ to an inclusive, net-zero
economy must tackle, rather than entrench, this inequality and provide a
springboard for better work and healthier, happier lives in the places that need
it most. This means creating green jobs that build wealth in local communities,
changing behaviour to reduce wasted food, energy and water, providing
biodiverse, accessible green spaces, supporting businesses to be more
responsible and empowering communities to lead activities that improve their
quality of life and promote health and wellbeing.
