Good chance for Sheffield to get re-engaged with the wider climate action movement. Apologies for the clash with the climate change day school, but I didn't organise it. it was sorted by people outside of Sheffield as a central location.<br>

Are you involved in local climate action or would you like to be? Climate Chaos is getting real and we need to act now - building a vibrant grassroots movement taking action all over the country.<br>
<br>
The Network for Climate Action is a Uk network of local groups and and national networks with the aim of sharing skills and providing support for each other as well as organising for action.<br>
<br>
We'd like to invite you to a day of networking, skillsharing and organising!<br>
