Tackling climate change requires a response from across civil society. Diverse civil society organisations are recognising the potential for its impacts to roll back progress on their goals, but many continue to see climate change as separate to their immediate concerns. New times, new connections explores the landscape of climate change activity underway, asks whether it reflects a mobilised civil society using its voice to demand action, and distils the key success factors for supporting organisations in engaging with climate change.

We hope that many who contributed to this study can join us at the launch. We will share the report’s key messages, hear from two of its case studies and debate the challenges of mainstreaming action on climate change across civil society.
