Who is this for?
Community Climate Coaches (CCCs) is for individuals and organisations that want to build their skills and knowledge for taking meaningful community action on climate, biodiversity and wellbeing. Our training and tools support communities to develop community resilience plans, climate action plans, and implement actions that build local resilience in the face of the social and ecological crises.
Community Climate Coaches provides training and support to empower community facilitators, coaches and catalysts to support communities in the vital process of visioning, planning and implementing change. Our objective is to enhance the capacity to scale climate and biodiversity action, and a just transition through community-led initiatives that strengthen the resilience and wellbeing of communities, individuals and local places.
Community Climate Coaches is therefore particularly designed for:
- Individuals, organisations or networks involved in community climate action and related activity to strengthen local resilience;
- Anyone that may want to become a Community Climate Coach after completing our online CCC Intro course or reading these CCC webpages.

Who are we?
The Community Climate Coaches (CCC) initiative in the UK is led by Permaculture Association (Britain) in collaboration with other UK partners and a European CCC partnership. We have run a series of CCC pilot trainings in 2024 in partnership with Climate Action Leeds, SCCAN (Scottish Communities Climate Action Network) and Shift Bristol, funded by the Network for Social Change. Our aim is to build a UK-wide partnership that uses the Community Climate Coaches approach alongside other approaches to scale and significantly expand community climate action.
Creating a Community of Practice of Community Climate Activists
The activities of this initiative will lay the foundations for a Community of Practice of Community Climate Coaches. These coaches will help organise and facilitate community climate action engagement processes, and over a period of time. Through this process of learning and practice they will refine the Community Climate Coaches Training, Toolbox and support system for rolling out across the four UK nations, with partners in each country.
By running a series of CCC training in 2024, we are starting to build an initial network of organisers, facilitators, coaches and trainers, from the various cities and communities who are engaging with community climate action and the CCC approach. If your organisation is interested in hosting a Community Climate Coaches training (e.g. for 20+ people), please see Host A Community Climate Coaches Training
