Who Are We?

We are Wanstead Climate Action, a friendly local group who came together in 2019 over shared concerns about the climate emergency. Through non-violent protest, letter writing and more, we aim to raise awareness of the urgent need to reduce carbon emissions and slow down global warming – before it’s too late. Please join us to help make positive change.

Get Involved in Redbridge

As part of the Climate Action Plan  Redbridge Council have committed to initiating a network in the borough of those who share a passion for the environment.

They hope this forum will enable those interested to share ideas and collaborate, as well as to feel inspired and positive about what is going on in our community to tackle Climate Change.

Each meeting will focus on a theme from the Climate Action Plan and we’ll be starting with ‘Waste’.

Hear an update from Councillor Blackman, portfolio holder for Environment and Civic Pride, on the progress we’ve made as a borough in 2021 and then join in as the community takes the floor and hears about some of the good work already happening in the borough and gets ideas for more!

Interested? Register here to receive a joining link for the virtual event on Wednesday 15^thSeptember between 6:30 – 8pm.
