Project team
Consortium Partners
The Climate Ambassadors consortium is jointly led by the University of Reading and EAUC.
As a founding member of the Climate Ambassadors programme, 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 Environmental Association of Universities and Colleges) is the leading body for sustainability in the post-16 education sector in the UK and Republic of Ireland. With over 300 members, and as the other co-lead of Climate Ambassadors, EAUC connects the programme to sustainability expertise, national organisations and volunteers from across post-16 education.
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 – adaptation and resilience, biodiversity, climate education and green careers, and decarbonisation – as well as extensive regional and national networks.
