More about the organisers…
Reading Climate Festival originated in 2020 as a series of online talks to support the launch of Reading’s Climate Emergency response. It is run on a not-for-profit basis by a team of volunteers on behalf of Reading Climate Change Partnership, the multi-stakeholder voluntary group which is responsible for Reading’s Climate Emergency Strategy. It offers a wealth of information and resources through its website at readingcan.org.uk.
