Climate Action Community

Championing science for effective mitigation, adaptation and resilience

Integrated climate solutions

Our interdisciplinary Climate Action Community (CAC) champions transformative approaches to reshaping unsustainable systems. We recognise that climate change cannot be addressed in isolation but requires solutions that address the interlinked challenges of biodiversity loss and pollution.

The Community holds regular events, discussions, and biannual community meetings covering adaptation, mitigation and resilience. It also engages with key organisations and initiatives across the sector, including UNFCCC, ISO and the Professional Bodies Climate Action Network.

Why you should join our Climate Action Community

Join the Community today for the opportunity to connect with a diverse network of environmental professionals working across sectors and fields. Our Community members span the breadth of environmental science, from air quality to sustainability to ecology, collectively exploring how climate action can be underpinned by robust science and evidence. 

All IES members are welcome to join the Community, regardless of their field or experience. As advocates for a systems thinking approach, we know that effective solutions can only be developed through interdisciplinary collaboration and knowledge-sharing.
