Consortium Partners
The Climate Ambassadors consortium is jointly led by the University of Reading www.reading.ac.uk/planet and EAUC www.eauc.org.uk.
As a founding member of the Climate Ambassador scheme, the University of Reading brings its leading expertise in climate and environmental sustainability, as well as a track record of working in partnership to take action that makes a positive impact, to help drive the consortium forward. EAUC, the Alliance for Sustainability Leadership in Education, has a membership of 270 Further and Higher Education settings and works with over 200 strategic partners. They mobilise their membership and connect the consortium with national organisations, to support delivery of the scheme.
Regional Hubs
There are nine Regional Hubs in the consortium, led by organisations that have significant expertise of delivering sustainability action. These organisations bring a diverse range of knowledge and experience across the four key areas of climate action planning – decarbonisation, adaptation and resilience, biodiversity, and climate education and green careers – as well as extensive regional and national networks.
