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

This is our Charter
- Accept our responsibility to fight Climate Change
- Begin reducing our own carbon footprint (with help)
- Commit to persuade other people, organizations & government to do the same

Havant Borough Big Green Week
We’re already planning our Havant Borough Green Week for June 2024 and it would be great to see more people and groups involved. Find out more here.
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 HomesThis is going to be a major theme for 2024 in the lead up to the General Election.
We are also working hard to challenge Southern Water’s plans to use Havant Thicket Reservoir for recycled effluent.
