Welcome to Greener Berwick
We are a climate action group focused in Berwick-upon-Tweed, and a member of the Friends of the Earth Local Action Groups Network.
Our vision is: A local voluntary group, raising awareness of climate change, and taking action in the Berwick area to improve the environment.
We want to create positive environmental change through climate action. We network with other environmental groups and engage with local people, organisations and businesses in the fight to become net-zero. We share ideas and empower individuals and organisations in lobbying and identifying relevant local issues. We are not affiliated to any political party. We were formerly known as ‘Climate Action Berwick and Borders’, and re-branded to Greener Berwick in August 2022.
Our primary concern is the climate emergency which knows no borders, no colours and no political parties. It affects us all, no matter who we are or where we are from.
Our aims
The aims of the group as set out in our Constitution are:-
1. To reduce carbon emissions at a local level by engaging with people, organisations, businesses and other environmental groups
2. To hold events and share information that will serve members and related organisations
3. To influence decisions about relevant local issues and policies through targeted campaigning and lobbying
