Climate Week Derby 2013

VenueDerby
Dates and times Monday 4th to Sunday 10th March

Climate Week is a supercharged national campaign to inspire a new wave of action on climate change. It culminates in thousands of events and activities, planned by organisations from every sector of society. Showcasing real, practical ways to combat climate change, the campaign aims to renew our ambition to create a more sustainable, low-carbon future.

Climate Week is backed by every part of society, including the Prime Minister, Paul McCartney, the NHS, Girlguiding UK and the National Association of Head Teachers.

During the last Climate Week, over 3,000 events were attended by half a million people across the UK for the second successive year.
