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.
Our headline policy asks
- Take a ‘transformative change’ approach to reshaping systems
- Integrate climate adaptation and mitigation with funding for resilience
- Develop explicit delivery plans and close the mitigation gap
- Support communities in a ‘just transition’ away from fossil fuels
- Unlock private finance and greater corporate sustainability
