Get involved in climate chats in our borough this summer

25 June 2025

Climate conversations aren’t just happening in formal meetings, they’re unfolding in pubs, churches and community centres. Share your views and be part of our journey toward a greener, more sustainable borough.

As London Climate Action Week encourages city-wide engagement, events across the borough are bringing residents together to connect, reflect and act on the climate challenges we all share.

Launching on Sunday 6 July, Kew Eco-Chat offers a relaxed and friendly space to connect with others in Kew who care about the natural world and community. Through books, films, podcasts, and exhibitions, the group will explore big environmental ideas like climate change, biodiversity, and sustainability, and bring them down to earth, considering how they relate to our local area.
