Alongside action by government and business, community-led innovation will be central to the UK's ability to achieve its CO2 emission reduction targets. In order to galvanise community-led responses to climate change, government will however need to be more active in creating the conditions within which community leadership can flourish.
This paper draws out the lessons for UK government climate change policy, drawing on communities' experience of NESTA's Big Green Challenge. It proposes a series of practical recommendations by which government could ensure that communities are more willing and able to take action in their own right with respect to climate change.
