Rural communities are at the frontline of climate change impacts. For example, more extreme weather brings longer droughts and wetter winters that damage our food production, and when our food production is damaged, it affects everyone.
But rural communities can be at the forefront of climate action too — if their voices are heard and their challenges understood. That's why we created the CCN.
Who's in the CCN?
The CCN is made up of ambitious local leaders from predominantly rural councils. As members of UK100, the CCN are committed to delivering climate action in their communities and amplifying the rural voice as part of our national policy advocacy - bringing the best from cities and the countryside together.
