In Our Nature puts the needs of Manchester communities at the heart of climate action.

In Our Nature is a programme in partnership between Manchester Climate Change Agency, Hubbub, Groundwork Greater Manchester, Amity, the Tyndall Centre for Climate Research and Manchester City Council.

Between now and 2025 we’ll be working with communities across the city to connect the climate crisis to practical actions we can all take to make a difference, reduce our carbon emissions, save money, and learn something new too.

Our team will be working together with communities and groups across Manchester to help create a healthy, green and socially just city where everyone can thrive. 

Join us as we:

  • Bring community climate action ideas to life across the city, from urban greening and energy saving to food sharing and clothes swapping. 

  • Celebrate the amazing work of local projects and run events and activities to help you support and take part in action in your community.

  • Build on the knowledge of communities and empower you to become Community Champions and Climate Ambassadors.

  • Measure our carbon savings of our activities along the way, and create carbon footprints of our neighbourhoods to help understand how we can work together to make the biggest impact.

The programme is funded by the National Lottery Climate Action Fund with additional funding from Wates Family Enterprise Trust.

Want to get involved? Throughout the programme we’ll be teaming up with a range of local organisations, groups and businesses. So, if you’re an organisation and want to get involved, we want to hear from you!
