About Us
Our Vision
Our supporters take individual and collective action to create a chain of expanding effects. The ripples flow between us and our communities right through to global levels.
Climate Action Newcastle helps families, workers, students, and community groups to stay well-informed and make positive differences in our lives. Our supporters share awareness of local, regional and national climate developments, plans, consultations and campaigns.

Connecting communities encourages more impact on big decisions at regional level. Together, we can influence regional policies, such as transport, and learn from inspiring climate actions in our area.
The majority of UK citizens support stronger climate action. Together, we keep MPs in touch with this top priority for us, sign petitions, lobby ministers and advocate for climate-friendly laws and actions.
Global change has been driven by all our smaller ripples. Together, we have increased momentum to switch to renewables; protect and steward our oceans, forests and landscapes; and increase awareness of tipping points. Our collective effort has kept the spotlight on fairness for the victims of rapid climate change: the next generation, right around the world.

Our Story
Our Beginnings
CAN formed in October 2019 after a public meeting organised by Friends of the Earth. We gained hundreds of supporters, despite challenges during the pandemic. After restrictions eased, CAN resumed in-person activities.
Our Present
CAN holds monthly zoom meetings and in-person gatherings. Our activities reflect the interests of members, including stalls at local festivals, marches, and campaigning.
Our Future
CAN aims to expand its reach and impact through increased community engagement and support. We will continue to provide valuable resources, share information, offer mutual support, and inspire action to tackle climate change!
