Communities shaping decisions about the climate, nature and our futures.
People at the sharp end of inequality in the UK also face the worst impacts of the climate and nature crises: unaffordable costs, pollution and flooding, to name a few. When it comes to decisions about climate and nature, these voices and experiences are often left out. Everyone’s Environment is changing this.
Everyone’s Environment is an alliance of social purpose and environmental groups championing community voices and life experiences. Collaborating as part of Everyone’s Environment gives social and environmental causes greater access to power and creates a united push for change.
Join the push to change who is included in decisions about the climate, nature and our futures.
When it comes to decisions about climate and nature, the voices and life experiences of communities experiencing inequalities are often left out. Everyone’s Environment exists to change who is included, so people’s life experiences are recognised as expertise and treated as evidence.
Everyone’s Environment is an alliance of social purpose and environmental groups acting together with communities experiencing inequalities. Since 2022, it has grown into a network of more than 80 organisations creating change locally and nationally, with inclusion in climate and nature decisions as a route to better health, warm homes, good jobs, lower bills and access to nature for all.
So far, the alliance has worked together to push for environmental policy to be more inclusive, including action to support fairer access to the health and environmental benefits of green and blue space. We have also advocated for the inclusion of underrepresented voices in shaping the Government’s Net Zero Public Participation Strategy.
NPC enables this alliance, working alongside the Race Equality Foundation, Disability Rights UK, Turn2us and more than 80 ambitious organisations and individuals across the UK.

Together, we ensure environmental action is grounded in lived experience and advances social justice, so the transition to a fairer, greener future benefits everyone.
The work of Everyone’s Environment is funded by:
Together with communities experiencing inequalities, Everyone’s Environment:
• creates the tools and connections needed to influence local and national decisions
• shares real life stories that demonstrate the deep links between climate and social justice changing policy decisions and public discussion
• promotes the benefits of including everyone in climate and nature decisions as a route to better health, warm homes, good jobs, lower bills and access to nature for all.
The Everyone’s Environment programme is built around four interconnected strands—Voices, Local, National, and Leaders.
Each strand focuses on a different approach to tackling climate change and nature loss: amplifying the voices of affected communities, empowering local organisations, influencing national policy, and fostering collaboration among organisational leaders. Together, these strands ensure that diverse perspectives and expertise drive meaningful environmental action and advocacy.
Everyone's Environment: Voices
Everyone’s Environment: Voices aims to amplify the voices of communities most affected by climate change and nature loss, helping them shape the public and media debate, and tell their own stories. It provides practical training in storytelling, media engagement, and policy advocacy. By joining, participants become part of a growing network of champions working together to get community voices heard and shape the public conversation.
We’re excited to be working with our first 20 Champions. Stay tuned to learn more about what they’re discovering and achieving.
Everyone’s Environment: Local
Everyone’s Environment: Local is a programme designed to equip local organisations to take action on environmental issues affecting their communities. The programme fosters collaboration, supports joint action, and offers training, funding and tailored support to help people with lived experience influence environmental policy.
Everyone’s Environment: Local is currently looking to support Greater Manchester-based organisations working with people facing financial insecurity, Disabled people, or minoritised ethnic communities. Find out more about the programme here.
Everyone’s Environment: National
Everyone’s Environment: National helps charities, funders, and policymakers understand and respond to the social impacts of climate change and nature loss. It builds the evidence base by sharing data on how environmental change affects different groups and offers free tools to embed these issues into everyday work. Through joint advocacy, it amplifies collective voices to ensure marginalised communities are heard in national policy debates.
If you are a national organisation that shares a commitment to equity and environmental justice, you can join the Everyone’s Environment . Find out more by contacting us.
Everyone’s Environment: Leaders
Everyone’s Environment: Leaders brings together CEOs from social and environmental organisations to drive collaboration to address the impacts of climate change on people and communities. We drive work to find shared policy and delivery priorities and help organisations work together to amplify their impact.
