WHO WE ARE
Climate change is a working class issue
Founded in 2023 in response to the exclusion of working class people from environmental spaces. Registered in England, the WCCA works with individuals and organisations worldwide.
Why we exist
Working class people have a rich history of environmental engagement and deep knowledge of how to care for the planet and each other, yet a lack of time and money, alongside social exclusion rooted in classism, racism and other biases, alienates them from environmental spaces.
What we do
The WCCA exists to change who the environmental movement is built by and for. Originally established as a membership organisation, we have since evolved to focus on education, advocacy and skills training. We also help working class communities and trade unions campaign for climate justice.
Advocacy
Policy work and practical campaigning advice.
Campaigning
Supporting and leading campaigns for climate justice.
Education
Workshops and political education.
Skills training
Consultancy and training sessions.
