Special Interest Group - Environmental Action

There are over 800 community-owned businesses in the UK today and 96% of those took some form of climate action last year. With record temperatures increasing, we all know the need has never been greater, and community-owned businesses are living examples of great things coming from individuals banding together.

We’re continuing our Environmental Action Special Interest Group which first met online in January 2025, and is open to anyone to drop into. We’d love for you to join us in an exchange of thoughts, ideas and discussion about what Plunkett might do, and what community groups might do to combat the climate crisis and bring their communities along with them.

On the call, we will be joined by Verture, a Scottish charity working all over the UK with communities to co-design locally-led responses to climate change. Verture support places to become climate ready in a way that is led by local people and rooted in fairness and justice.

Come along to listen, think and chat in a safe and respectful online space, as we continue our journey discussing what climate action looks like for a rural community business.

You are welcome to drop in even if you can't stay for the whole session.
