If you live in London and care about the future of your city and your planet then London Climate Action is the place for you. There are several ways to get involved:
1. Come to our next event
The Camp for Climate Action: An Appetiser!
Sunday 16 August
2pm-5pm
The Rag Factory, Brick Lane
The Camp for Climate Action is returning to London. From 26th August to 2nd September, thousands of people will converge to challenge the economic and political systems that have created financial meltdown and climate chaos. Instead of leaders' false solutions to climate change, the Camp for Climate Action is about ordinary people coming together to build a movement for sustainable living, education and direct action.
Would you like to know more about how the London neighbourhood is preparing for Climate Camp and get involved yourself?
On Sunday 16th August from 2-5pm, come along for:
- a presentation about how Climate Camp is organised - plus a chance to ask questions
- discussion and planning for the Public Swoop on Wednesday 26 August - the day we'll take the site and set up the Camp
- a choice of hands-on workshops with the groups organising different parts of the London neighbourhood - the kitchen, entertainment, power and more
- a session on direct action - what it is, why we do it, and how to get involved
It'll be a great chance to meet other people who will be at Climate Camp and to make a real contribution to the London neighbourhood even before you get there.
Location: the Rag Factory, 16-18 Heneage Street, London E1 5LJ. (Liverpool St / Aldgate East tube.)
If you'd like to come, please email london@climatecamp.org.uk or feel free just to come along on the day.
2. Come to our organising meetings
We meet on Tuesday evenings at 7pm, in association with the SOAS Green Society. The meetings now happen at:
Room FG08, Faber Building
School of Oriental and African Studies
23 Russell Square
London
WC1H 0XG
Nearest tube: Russell Square

NB. If the weather is sunny, we tend to meet on the grass next to the Brunei Building instead (where the word 'Brunei' is on this map) - if so there will be a note on the door.
*PLEASE NOTE: The venue has now changed from the Vernon Square campus for the summer!*
