WE:CAN — Climate Action Now

Why Climate Action Now?

The climate emergency is here, it’s real, and it poses a real threat to our planet. As Woodcraft Folk members we have been discussing, learning about and taking action more and more, but now is the time for us to share our knowledge and co-operate in our actions to change the systems which have got us into this mess!

Woodcraft Folk Everywhere: Climate Action Now (WE:CAN) contains activities for groups who are new to exploring the climate emergency in their programme, as well as ways in which those with more experience can super-charge their actions! The activities in this resource have been divided into four themes:

  • Justice
  • Innovation
  • Biodiversity
  • Survival

And three stages:

  • What do we know
  • Learn together
  • Climate action now!

You can complete them in any order and dip in and out of the resource as you would like, but we’ve included some suggested programmes later in the attached booklet for anyone looking for a guide of where to start!
