Zero 2030

Worthing Climate Action Network is a non-party political “umbrella” grouping made up of members of campaign groups, faith groups and community organisations. Our aim is to raise awareness of the threat of catastrophic climate change and to build public pressure on our political leaders to take more decisive action towards its mitigation.
