London Community Climate Partnership
Bringing together strategic partners from the voluntary, community and faith sector to build community resilience and adaptation in the face of climate change.
Groundwork London and Communities Prepared are working with London Resilience in developing a new partnership to represent the voices of the Voluntary, Community and Faith Sectors (VCFS) on climate resilience and adaptation.
Londoners face growing, multifaceted risks from climate change, which intersect with other social and environmental challenges. In response, policy and strategy, at a national, regional and local level, are being developed, and more funders are showing interest in this space. The VCFS have deep knowledge of their communities, but their input is currently not central in the development and implementation of these policies and strategies.
The programme’s ambition is to make London a more resilient city in response to climate change, by ensuring that the voices of the VCFS are captured in response to key strategies on climate resilience and adaptation which impact Londoners, such as Heat Ready London and Flood Ready London.
We are inviting applications from representatives of organisations in the VCFS who are working at a strategic and pan-London level in community resilience and adaptation to climate change. Those selected will form a partnership to represent the perspectives of the voluntary, community and faith sector on climate resilience and adaptation.
The partnership will be made up of representatives from different VCFS organisations which engage in, on a pan-London and strategic level, the following themes:
- climate resilience and adaptation
- supporting those most affected by climate risks in communities across London
- representing diverse communities most at risk from climate change
We will build the foundations of the network, uniting these organisations, to ensure that there is a respected ‘voice’ which can champion climate resilience from a VCFS perspective at a strategic and policy level.
We are now seeking applications for members of this partnership.
The deadline for applications is Sunday 29th November 2026 at midnight.
