Our approach

We want to see a world where connected and resilient communities are actively shaping a just and sustainable planet.

Action to influence

People overwhelmingly want climate action. But the climate and ecological crisis is not an isolated issue - it’s a symptom of deeper, connected problems.

Global Action Plan exists to confront these problems head-on - not with fear, but with clarity, collaboration, and vision.

We take action with communities and our partners to create practical climate solutions today and in doing so, influence systems for a more just and sustainable future.

The issues we work on

As a small organisation we are strategic about what we work on.

We look for climate action gaps — underserved or societally salient issues where we can help connect climate action with other concerns for families. For example, we were the first climate charity to connect the environmental and human harms of Social media.
We prioritise issues of parity — where we can also address broader inequities in power, wealth and health. For example we are developing policy pathways for phasing out domestic wood burning in cities – where the majority of the impact is caused by the top 10% of earners.
We look for high impact - low input intervention routes — opportunities that have the potential for big impact with limited resources. For example we have been supporting the Department of Education’s curriculum review, getting climate action embedded throughout the curriculum would fundamentally change how the next generation are equipped.

How we work

There is a growing divide between people and policy makers. By centring our work on the experiences and calls of the communities we work with - we aim to reduce these divides and contentions.

We bring policy makers and people closer together — exposing policy makers to the realities of climate issues for vulnerable communities and giving these impacted communities agency and influence through co-developing equitable policies and access. For example, we ran policy workshops with communities in pollution hotspots to develop their own manifesto asks and provide policymakers with the community mandate for change, and provided training for community representatives to attend the London Mayoral hustings to share their experiences and call for change
