In Our Nature
Duration: April 2021-April 2025
Background
In Our Nature is a National Lottery Climate Action funded project designed to support people across Manchester to take climate action at home and in their communities. The project aspires to create a healthy, green and socially just city, where everyone can thrive.
Groundwork Greater Manchester are working alongside Manchester Climate Change Agency, Hubbub, Amity, the Tyndall Centre for Climate Research and Manchester City Council to support over 50 community-led projects.
Harnessing the partnerships experiences and expertise, we are working with communities across Manchester, highlighting the connections between the climate crisis and practical, local actions. Showcasing how to reduce carbon emissions, save money, and learn new skills.
This National Lottery funding for In Our Nature presents an opportunity to make a huge difference to the everyday lives of Manchester residents. Not only will the projects tackle climate change, but many will also have the added benefit of helping people save money in the face of the rising cost of living crisis.
