Carbon Co-op

Community-led low carbon innovation

Friday, April 2nd, 2010

Innovation agency NESTA has been supporting the Carbon Co-op’s development over the past few years. Now they’ve produced a report looking at ways to galvanise community-led responses to climate change, recommending government be more active in creating the conditions within which community leadership can flourish.

The report demonstrates lessons for UK government climate change policy, drawing on communities’ experience of NESTA’s Big Green Challenge which has funded Carbon Co-op. There’s some excellent practical recommendations in there and it’s good to see the grassroots approaches to tackling climate change being championed at a high level.
