You don't need a dedicated sustainability team to start taking meaningful climate action - Join Esther Whitehead, CSI Associate and Climate Lead of FCCA - The Funders’ Commitment on Climate Action, on Wednesday 26 August for a practical online session designed for not-for-profit organisations looking to develop a simple and sustainable climate strategy.

From 10.30am – 11.30am, Esther will explore how to:

Identify your organisation's biggest sources of climate impact,
Develop a realistic climate strategy and action plan,
And use practical tools and resources to embed climate action into your everyday mahi.

Participants will also hear more about our Climate Action Tools Hub, packed with resources to help you get started on your climate action journey.

Whether you're just getting started or are looking for a practical framework to guide your organisation's climate journey, this session will equip you with the knowledge and tools to turn good intentions into action.
