Camp for Climate Action Leeds

The Camp will take place in Megawatt Valley, near Leeds, home of Drax power station, the largest single emitter of carbon dioxide in the UK. August 26th to September 4th - Book your holidays now!

Climate change is happening now and is set to get much worse. Governments and corporations dream of growth without end, economy without limits. When nuclear power is hailed as the solution to ecological crisis you know there’s a problem. There is a growing grassroots movement that fundamentally challenges the fossil fuel economy.

The camp will be a place for this movement to get together. It will be a place for new people, people who have never been ‘political’ before but who want move beyond concern into activity. It will be a place for experienced activists: old and young, cynical and hopeful. We all need courage, the guts to step beyond the comfort of our concern or the borders of our group. Climate change casts a long shadow over the future. But we believe this time can be an opportunity, a moment when people come together and say ‘enough’.
