Creating an inspiring climate awareness in Oxfordshire

The Oxfordshire ClimateXChange is a new Climate Change project for Oxfordshire. It’s about you, your family, your neighbour, your street, your pub, school, business, church all getting ‘fantastically imaginative’ about climate change. How do you feel? What do you want to know? How do you want to find it out? What do you want to do? ClimateXChange is here to help you do all that. Turn climate change on its head, dive in and experience the thrill of the adventure.

Climate explorers

We're recruiting volunteer 'climate explorers' to help generate a climate buzz across Oxfordshire  - people like you! Do you want to organise an event? Maybe you want to learn how to make your local climate film? Perhaps you want to speak about climate change to your club? You can see what other explorers are doing here and if you'd like to join in, download the Explorers contact form.
