Climate action thus far has focused on decarbonisation. This is hard, because it’s the ultimate collective action more-than-problem. In this interview, Dr. Read, Co-Director of the ClimateMajorityProject, speaks about how pivoting to strategic adaptation can transform this situation: because of the co-benefits for cost of living, and more.

Across the UK in communities, workplaces and wherever they have power, people from all walks of life are organising the kinds of serious climate action that will make governments take notice. The Climate Majority Project is a rallying place for citizen climate action. We help projects to grow, get funding, and connect with as many willing hands as possible.
