Humanist Climate Action is a volunteer-led network of Humanists UK members and supporters committed to redefining lifestyles and campaigning for policies that promote low-carbon, ethical, and sustainable living in the light of the degeneration of the Earth’s climate and biodiversity. We bring humanists together to facilitate individual and collective action on these issues.
Humanists are guided by reason and science and recognise a moral duty towards the welfare of our fellow beings and the natural world. Humanists seek to engage in dialogue and debate rationally, intelligently, and with evidence, and promote the belief that humans are part of a wider natural world which must be treated sustainably for the sake of current and future generations.
For a view of the place of environmentalism within the humanist movement, please read Richard Norman’s ‘Why Humanist Climate Action?’
Humanist Climate Action is run by a committee of volunteers.

HCA Aims:
- To promote environmentally friendly policies, and to endorse and support the actions of other environmental campaigning groups that have similar objectives.
- To challenge beliefs that are not evidence-based and disinformation about environmental issues, particularly climate change.
- To encourage humanists to adopt greener lifestyles, following the best available scientific evidence.
- To ensure that the humanist voice is heard in religious or belief-led initiatives on environmental issues.
During the event there will be a chance to meet fellow members and learn about how to support Humanist Climate Action.
