Climate Emergency Centers
# What do we do?

Climate Emergency Centers repurpose empty buildings for the benefit of local community to organise, meet in person, work on climate solutions.

# Where are you based?

Currently we are based in the UK and we have access to around 20 buildings around the country.

# What's the secret of getting buildings for free?

We are a registered charity that gets discount on "business rates" that the owner of a building needs to pay no matter the occupancy (this is to incentivise use of the buildings). We are saving them money.
