Our vision is a zero carbon Havant Borough with a green economy and an environment that prioritises biodiversity, active travel and community cohesion.
Our main role is to inform and support councillors and other local decision-makers to encourage faster action on the climate. We welcome everyone who supports action to tackle the climate emergency. Havant Climate Alliance is linked to Havant Friends of the Earth and to Hampshire and national climate networks. Details of our meetings are on this site or email us on havclimate@gmail.com

Publicising the National Emergency briefings and supporting Zero Hour’s campaign to get the Climate & Nature Bill through Parliament.
The energy crisis is hitting us all, particularly those on low incomes or in poor housing. It is sometimes very difficult to find out how to cut energy usage or where to go for help. So Havant Climate Alliance and Havant Friends of the Earth are supporting the Friends of the Earth campaign United for Warm Homes https://www.unitedforwarmhomes.uk. The goals are to persuade the government to fund:
- Urgent additional financial support to keep people warm.
- A nationwide insulation programme.
- Permanent fixes to our failed energy system.
We made a quilt with lots of messages calling for action on Warm Homes
