How to Support the Best Climate Change Charities in the UK
According to climate scientists, major climate change is “irreversible and inevitable”.
In a stark warning, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change said human behaviour had changed the Earth’s climate in “unprecedented” ways and action must be taken now.
Although the report made for sobering reading, there are many climate change charities in the UK working to reduce our carbon footprint and make a meaningful impact.
We’ve collected five of the best climate change charities in the UK below, for those looking to start a fundraiser.
