The UK Public Sector is hugely diverse, from our services to the knowledge and skills we use in delivering them. However, despite our differences, we share challenges. Reducing our environmental impact, decarbonising, and adapting to the climate and biodiversity crisis are big tasks we all face.
​ 

The Cross Government Climate Hub was created to connect our atomised Public Sector climate community, make it visible to itself, and break down siloes to build momentum on climate and biodiversity action.​

​

Join our 'community of communities' and become part of the solution. A regenerative, sustainable and resilient future cannot be an aspiration; it must be our destination. By working together, we can achieve it. 

Alignment with

ISO 14090:2019

Adaptation to climate change — Principles, requirements and guidelines

Use this space to connect:

'The organization shall identify relevant interested parties; develop a plan to engage with relevant interested parties sufficient to understand their needs and expectations with respect to climate change adaptation.'

Community is at the heart of the Hub.  To continue our mission we must work together and support each other to maintain resilience in the community. 

 

We are connected to the Climate Psychology Alliance who have trained some of our members to facilitate climate anxiety cafes. Members can also connect with each other on monthly 1-to-1 calls to discuss climate issues. We've also got volunteers in equality, diversity and Inclusion and social science-humanities professional/academic backgrounds, who host climate workshops throughout the year, exclusively for our members.

Our Community Principles

Principles all Cross-Government Climate Hub members must follow:

​​

  • We will not tolerate any discrimination, harassment or bullying around people’s race, ethnicity, religion, disability, age, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, neurodivergence or other personal, cultural and/or organisational characteristics

​

  • Respect other people’s views - if someone posts an opinion you disagree with, you can challenge the view but never attack the person. For example, people’s views on social justice and politics which may clash with your own

​

  • All public and private messages and posts are open to Freedom of Information Requests (FOI)

​

  • Members must not share information that their organisation has marked official sensitive

​

  • All opinions and views expressed are your own and not reflective of your organisation, unless otherwise stated

​

  • Be conscious of everyone’s different circumstances and capacity. For example, some may work at different times, be in a busy period, have child caring or other responsibilities outside of CfCA 

​

  • Use inclusive language and be mindful of how and what you post. For example, spell out acronyms, explain complex terms, and respect people’s pronouns

​

  • Accuracy – ensure information is accurate, evidenced, referenced where possible, notify people if something that’s been said or shared isn’t true, and ensure false information isn’t spread

What is Gov News?

Gov News is a platform run by Pendulum Media, a Government Communications Marketplace appointed supplier. They run the Smarter Working Awards by the Government Property Agency. They started with the awards and a newsletter that went out to over 200,000 public servants about improving how we work together. They wanted to keep the conversation going between events so they used Circle to host the Gov News platform. Gov News is building a community of communities and can host events, forums, publish documents, and more.
