History

Marlborough Climate Pledge is a voluntary group of local people, convinced that if we work together we will make a difference to climate change.  The group was established in 2005-06 when five practical and hopeful women in the town decided that climate change needed practical and political action taking place to stop it, not just talking. The idea of The Climate Pledge was born.

To gather support for the project, Former Environment Minister Michael Meacher, MP, spoke to a packed crowd at Marlborough Town Hall in May, 2006.  Meacher, who spoke passionately on the challenges we now face,  said he was bowled over by the size of the audience and its commitment to action.  Pledges and new ideas are still coming in and we provide a range of activites and events to inspire practical action for climate change. Our past newsletter, reports and other information are attached below for download. These are a record of our past activities and there are plenty of ideas and links for you to pursue within them.
