Campaign Against Climate Change

Info:  Mobilises as many people as possible, both nationally and internationally, to push for urgent and resolute government action to prevent catastrophic climate change. To this end, during the UN climate talks each year CCC organises the National Climate March, the UK’s largest single mobilisation on climate change and, through the Global Climate Campaign, coordinates the Global Day of Action on climate on the same day, encouraging and inspiring activists in more than 70 countries to take to the streets and demand action on climate from world leaders.

CANN

Info:  Climate Action Network Nottinghamshire (CANN) is a coalition of local voluntary and community organisations - environment and development groups, faith groups, humanitarian organisations, women's groups, trade unions and others - working together to achieve more effective action on climate change.

carbon footprint

CarbonLimited

Info:  Is bringing together expertise from the commercial, social and financial sectors to subject ideas about personal carbon trading to rigorous analysis. The project has so far been investigating how a personal carbon trading scheme might function, as well as analysing its potential social and economic impacts.

Carbon Trust

Info:  Was set up by Government in 2001 as an independent company. Our mission is to accelerate the move to a low carbon economy by working with organisations to reduce carbon emissions and develop commercial low carbon technologies.

Centre for Sustainable Energy

Info:  Is a national charitable company that was established in 1979 and has a staff of over 40. Their funders and clients include national, regional and local government and associated agencies, energy companies and charitable sources.

CSE helps people and organisations from the public, private and voluntary sectors meet the challenge of rising energy costs and climate change. They do this by giving advice, managing innovative energy projects and undertaking research.

C Level

Info:  They developed a new approach with responsibility for CO2 emissions at its core, the concept of being Carbon Balanced as well as the concept of a Carbon Footprint, and found the right partners to deliver these ideas as services to clients. They do not simply aim to offset CO2 emissions, but help initiate new projects that raise awareness, pushing the boundaries of 'low carbon living' and inspiring a 'can do' change in culture.

ClimateCare

Info:  Helps people like you make a difference to this unique planet, lowering business and individual carbon emissions because we all want to make the biggest impact we can in tackling climate change. We do this by helping you reduce your CO2 emissions, giving you the advice you need to reduce your carbon footprint or calculate and buy carbon offsets through transparent projects in renewables and energy efficiency.

Climate Change Speaker Network

Info:  UK network of speakers available to give talks on climate change and related topics to schools, adult societies, faith groups, councils, businesses, etc.

Climate Change Wales

Info:  Green house gasses insulate our atmosphere from the coldness of space, without them the temperature on earth would be -15 degrees. The green house effect was discovered by Fourier in 1827.

Carbon Dioxide (CO2 ) is the main green house gas. Records show that global temperature is closely linked to the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere. Over the past 100 years the amount of carbon dioxide has increased, and the global temperature is also increasing. Reducing the amount of insulating gasses we put into the atmosphere is key to reducing the impacts of climate change. The climate will still warm over the next 100 years, but it will stop the warming spiraling out of control.

Climate Concern UK

Info:  Campaign to increase public understanding of climate change issues, answer scepticism and encourage energy savings.

ClimateStewards

Info:  Has been set up to give you the opportunity to minimize the effect of your carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions on climate change. Our aim is to help you understand the problem and what you can do – and then enable you to do it! We want you to stop emitting CO2 whenever possible. In areas where it’s not practical for you to stop, we want to help you swap those emissions for carbon offsets. When you have done all you can personally, we want to encourage you to inspire others to do the same.

Climate Research Unit

Info:  Is widely recognised as one of the world's leading institutions concerned with the study of natural and anthropogenic climate change. Consisting of a staff of around thirty research scientists and students, the Unit has developed a number of the data sets widely used in climate research, including the global temperature record used to monitor the state of the climate system, as well as statistical software packages and climate models.

The aim of the Climatic Research Unit is to improve scientific understanding in three areas: past climate history and its impact on humanity; the course and causes of climate change during the present century; prospects for the future.

COIN

Info:  Is Britain's leading provider of climate change training. In the past two years, over 2000 people have attended our fast-moving, interactive and informative courses. They aim to create a powerful and vocal community of people working together to move technology, government and business forward to reduce emissions and make real and lasting changes to the way we live.
