The Council Climate Action Scorecards monitors UK councils' progress toward decarbonising - but it's too good an idea to keep to one country!

We recently spoke to @climaterealityproject.eu to learn how the Scorecards have inspired a new guidebook: www.mysociety.org/2025/12/19/f...

Let's make 2026 a year of meaningful climate action.💚
The narrative around #climateaction is shifting. With growing pushback and competing priorities, how do we communicate the co-benefits -reduced bills, cleaner air, better health—while engaging in genuine dialogue?
