Supporting community action on climate change

With support from

Welcome to the NZN Community Resource Hub!

Updated 2024

Whether you are part of an existing local group looking for advice on a particular topic or are an individual interested in getting started in your community, this hub is designed to help you with your community climate action.

In this section you will find links to pages with relevant video clips and resources taken from our live Net Zero Now training. It’s designed to enable everyone, regardless of knowledge, skills or experience to gain the tools to get started with community action on carbon reduction. This could be something as simple as setting up a new local clothes swap, or something as big as a community energy scheme.

About the Net Zero Now Hub

This content is available as an online resource for anyone to undertake in their own time at home. There are many online sources of information and inspiration, and we have linked to a selection of these within the course resources.

We hope that you find these resources useful and if you would prefer to take part in our live programme, get in touch on our contact form on this page and we will let you know when we are offering another course in the future.

  • Videos: within each topic there are some short videos for you to watch. These were recorded during sessions with participants taking part through the Zero Carbon Communities Grant in 2021 and 2023. Use these to get an overview of the topic.
  • Slides: the slides are taken from the workshops run through the 2021 and 2023 Zero Carbon Communities Grant and will help you to structure the topics. 
  • Worksheets: within most topics there are a small number of worksheets. These are templates or information sheets related to the topic area. These can be downloaded and then filled in to help you put what you have learnt from the videos and other resources into context.
  • Further Resources: each topic has a list of ‘Further Resources’ which could be articles, guides, websites, blogs or video clips that will help to build your knowledge of the topic. Note these resources take you to external pages not moderated or managed by Cambridge Carbon Footprint.

The content was developed between 2021 and 2023 with support from South Cambridgeshire District Council as part of their Zero Carbon Communities Grant and the National Lottery Community Fund.
