South Lakes Action on Climate Change – Towards Transition is a merging of two groups, South Lakes Action on Climate Change and Transition South Lakes.

The two groups merged in 2009 in order to more effectively work at building a resilient and fossil fuel free future for South Lakeland.

Our core aims are as follows:

1. To increase awareness of local and global issues surrounding Climate Change.
2. To reduce South Lakeland’s overall Green House Gas emissions and dependence on Fossil Fuels.
3. To establish and support South Lakeland as a Transition District.
4. To take every reasonable step to minimise the Green House Gas emissions resulting from the groups’ activities.

We achieve these aims by a mixture of community projects, awareness raising, campaigning and regular events.  For more information visit our website at www.slacc.org.uk.
