Members of CANs meeting together

Transition Stroud supports a district-wide Forum for representatives from local climate action groups to share information and learning, and discuss the potential for initiatives that can help tackle the Climate Emergency.

We meet informally every 2-3 months to catch-up and support each other.

There are many climate and nature action groups active across Stroud District – take a look at the Stroud Resilience Web to contact your nearest, or join our WhatsApp Community to get updates on meetings, events and plans, or to share your own.

If you need help to set up a new climate group in your community contact us through Transition Stroud.


PAST events

Stroud Climate Action Summit, 2025

Are we doing the right things? Should we be putting our efforts into wider-scale projects and actions? Can we better influence decisions at District and County levels and with local industry?

Please come and share your experiences and see if we can identify some common objectives. It would be great to welcome 2 reps from each CAN. This event will be designed and facilitated by ChalCAN. Book your place here
