WHO WE ARE

Watlington Climate Action Group was founded in April 2019 as a Facebook community group. We are a voluntary group of residents, with a committee structure, and we are part of the CAG Oxfordshire, a network of over 100 community groups.

The group aims to help Watlington address the Climate Emergency, through community initiatives and supporting individual actions. We believe that through community-wide collaboration, we can have a greater impact.
