Our network is open to all UK civil servants, and since being founded in 2019, our mission is to grow climate and environment policy capability across the whole UK Civil Service.
We do this though monthly events, podcasts, YouTube videos, blog content, and recently we hosted the first ever Civil Service Climate + Environment Conference.
We also work to affect positive change within the Civil Service, and are currently developing a climate and environment specialism to be embedded in the Policy Profession standards, as set out in the March 2023 Net Zero Growth Plan.
Our senior sponsors are Lee McDonough, Director General for International Net Zero and Nuclear at the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, and David Hill, Director General for Environment, Rural and Marine and the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.
