Who we are

Sheffield Campaign against Climate Change is friendly local group linked to the national Campaign against Climate Change. We believe that action is needed now to avert catastrophic climate change.

Why we need to act

• The earth’s climate is warming up, causing more extreme weather, floods, draughts, storms and heat waves
• Climate scientists now agree the main cause is “greenhouse gases” produced by burning gas and coal
• Climate change causes death and suffering for millions of people world wide, mostly the poor

       

What we do

• National and local days of action and demonstrations
• Lobby Sheffield City Council and Sheffield First
• Support related national and local campaigns.
• Film shows and talks for local groups

We Campaign for:

• An International Treaty to curb greenhouse gas emissions
• Effective national policies to facilitate low-carbon living
• Decisive local action to reduce Sheffield's carbon footprint
• No new coal - and against unsustainable agrofuels
• Strong UK leadership at international climate talks 

What you can do: 

Lobby your local councillor about 10,000 climate jobs for Sheffield.

Please find at bottom of the page a draft letter to your councillor and a powerpoint briefing the One Million Climate Jobs pamphet to take to your councillor.

Sheffield Climate Alliance have their first petition:

We are local people who care about climate change and understand that it is an economic and social issue.

We call on Sheffield City Council to implement a plan for 10,000 new climate jobs in Sheffield, to address the economic and environmental crisis, through:

·         Making new and existing buildings energy efficient

·         Expanding and integrating low-fare public transport

·         Creating research and manufacturing for energy generation from renewable sources

·         Enabling a switch to local, ecological food production

·         Offering free programmes of training in Green Skills
