We Have the Power to Impact Our Future, and We’re Doing Something About It

Climate change poses an existential threat to the Earth and its inhabitants. Climate change can lead to sea level rise, more frequent and severe weather events, and disruptions to agriculture and ecosystems, all of which can have negative impacts on human health and the economy. Additionally, climate change can have a disproportionate impact on vulnerable populations, such as the poor and the elderly. By reducing our greenhouse gas emissions and taking steps to adapt to the changes that are already happening, we can help protect the Earth and its inhabitants from the worst effects of climate change.

Social Echo is building the first of a network of mutually supporting and self-sustainable centres across the region with a shared purpose to build future-focused social and environmental solutions in the face of the Climate Emergency. Each Climate Emergency Centre (CEC) is led by and focused on the community that it serves but also has the knowledge, expertise, and resources of the wider network. CECs are public spaces that offer a range of support and services to their community and environment.

North Huntingdonshire Climate Emergency Centre is based in the village of Yaxley and shares the hub with Social Echo North Huntingdonshire CIC, an innovative non-profit organisation on a mission to dismantle poverty by harnessing the potential of social trading. Together with the North Huntingdonshire CEC, the hub aims to create a greener Huntingdonshire, drive and support social green trading, upskill and inspire the community to tackle social and ecological crises and find collaborative solutions across the public, private and third sector.
