What we do

Campaigns & Advocacy

Overview

We use research, storytelling and collaboration to raise awareness of overheating and encourage positive changes in policy, planning and public understanding.

What we do

We believe that everyone should be able to live, work and thrive during hotter weather. Through campaigns, media engagement and policy discussions, we encourage practical solutions that improve heat resilience across the UK.

Our advocacy is always informed by evidence and focuses on constructive, achievable change that benefits people, buildings and places.

Our approach

Many of the UK's buildings and public spaces were not designed for the temperatures we are now experiencing. Raising awareness and influencing policy will be essential if we are to adapt successfully to a changing climate.
