Engagement and
partnerships
We want to work together with our partners and communities to tackle climate change. To reach this goal, we are helping them to make more sustainable choices. Whether that is through identifying land to plant trees or providing information about different funding streams.
Climate Champions
Climate Champions are ambassadors for climate change throughout the county and are supported by the Council through training, networking opportunities and funding updates. There are currently 25 community climate champions across Northumberland. To join an environmental group, share your work, or become a Climate Champion visit our community group page.
Working with schools
Our Climate and Education Teams are working together with the UK Schools Sustainability Network and the Ministry of Eco and have established the Northumberland Schools Sustainability Network (NSSN), to support schools and education providers across the county to incorporate sustainability and climate action into all aspects of school life.
