By joining the Climate Cymru network you’ll become part of a movement that’s creating meaningful, lasting change at the heart of politics and society in Wales.
Climate Cymru is an active and growing network of 370 organisations and 15,000 people - the largest movement in Wales dedicated to climate action.
As a network, we can achieve so much more than when we work in isolation. Climate Cymru brings together a huge cross-section of society into collective, collaborative action for climate and social justice.
We have a small team of highly motivated and experienced changemakers, who use their political and campaigning expertise to get the voices and needs of the movement captured in the policies and laws that govern us.
“Climate Cymru has brought about a significant step up in coordinated climate and nature action in Wales, bringing together voices from all corners and sectors of society in a coordinated way is an exciting prospect, and with such a clear action focus, there is lots more potential for Climate Cymru to be at the heart of inspiring real change”
The strength of the Climate Cymru network is its breadth and diversity – from local community groups, national organisations, businesses, universities, and faith groups. A major focus of our work is to amplify the voices of smaller and underrepresented groups that often go unheard.
“"As a small group, with very limited capacity, being part of the Climate Cymru network has enabled us to connect with a much wider, more diverse network and be a part of all sorts of opportunities that we wouldn't have had otherwise and has had a real positive impact on what we are able to do" ”
Since we formed in 2021, the Climate Cymru network has achieved a significant impact to put climate, nature and social justice on the political agenda in Wales. As a large and diverse network, we have:
