We'll be chatting about how we created climate hubs in Surrey, as well as what councils can do to support community-led climate action.

With the climate crisis escalating, it is essential that communities begin working together to plan for a changing planet. This involves collaboration within communities, between residents, schools, business, councils, churches, universities, as well as collaboration between independent local communities, offering support, guidance, and learning from each other's successes and mistakes.

ZERO is an example of this work becoming a reality - a climate education and engagement hub created by the Guildford community, as the focal point for beginning collaborative efforts to build a community-led climate action plan which helps the borough achieve carbon neutrality by 2030.

Speakers will include Surrey Climate Commission and groups from across Surrey who are already pioneering community-led spaces focused on the climate emergency, including ZERO Guildford, Talking Tree in Staines, What Next Godalming, and Dorking Climate Emergency.
