ZERO: Community-Led Climate Mitigation & Adaptation
Younger generations face the biggest threat from climate breakdown and ecological collapse. Faced with inadequate responses by global governments, we will empower young people to take ownership for developing strategies for a secure future.
The climate crisis is the gravest threat humanity has faced, we will develop replicable strategies that any community can employ to mitigate and adapt to the myriad environmental and social threats associated with a changing planet.
We are building networks across the county to counter Surrey's declining biodiversity, building community collaboration to generate the wildlife corridors that support and restore the ecosystems which are crucial to the existence of life on earth.
We cannot maintain a habitable planet without extensive work to redefine our relationship with nature, and we will develop a community driven plan to protect, restore, and regenerate our local ecosystems and native species.
Communities everywhere taking ownership of their futures
Zero is a collaborative project bringing together Guildford residents, local social & environmental groups, the University of Surrey, the Diocese Of Guildford and many others in a community-led climate action plan. We aim to ensure Guildford hits carbon neutrality by 2030, whilst developing strategies to build food security, reduce fuel poverty through community energy, and develop a community wellbeing programme to counter the mental health crisis which will accompany climate breakdown.
We aim to engage 10% of our own community in our first year
We aim to involve 5-10 schools every year in our projects
