Data protection
On setting up or joining a Climate Action Group we strongly advise you read the guidance on General Data Protection Regulation requirements.
If, after reading this, you still have questions or concerns please email us at [email protected].
Political impartiality
Climate Action Groups are supported by Friends of the Earth – an organisation committed to conducting our activity in a way that is politically impartial.
All Climate Action Groups are required to follow the political impartiality guidance to ensure they are as effective as possible in tackling the climate emergency.
Protest and non-violent direct action
Friends of the Earth supports the right of individuals and organisations to take part in peaceful protest and nonviolent direct action where this is likely to support the achievement of its objectives. However, as a group that works within the courts system, we cannot encourage groups to take illegal action.
Groups using Friends of the Earth or Climate Action branding are required to adhere to Friends of the Earth's policy on protest.
Safeguarding
We believe that everyone has the right to live free from abuse of any kind, and that everyone should feel safe when participating in group activities. We all have a legal responsibility to do everything we can to keep children and vulnerable adults safe and to report any concerns we have about their welfare.
