Our Behaviour Change Programmes Increasing awareness of environmental issues alone isn’t enough. To help make a shift in behaviour, we are delivering a number of projects: Manor House PACT: The aim of the project is to build momentum and increase the resilience and capacity of local communities to take control of their own lives, their homes and their neighbourhood, and enable them to live more sustainably in the face of climate change. Greenstreets: Aims to work with local communities in the boroughs of Hammersmith and Fulham, where there have been high incidences of flooding and sewer surcharge, to install Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) in partnership with AECOM. Energise Brent: this project aims to empower the local community of Brent to faciltate behavioural change through bottom up projects that will assist Brent Council deilver its Climate Change Communications Strategy and Climate Change Champions Scheme. Green Deal Action Plan: addresses the role that local organisations can play in cutting through the jargon and engaging their communities in the options available to them. Cleaner Air 4 Schools: Aims to engage parents, teachers, pupils and school governors at schools in Westminster, helping them understand the importance of air quality as well as influencing behaviours around travel and transport. Greening the Third Sector: Aims to advise voluntary sector organisations on how they can become reduce their environmental impacts through free environmental audits. Energise London: Aims to promote energy efficiency, use of renewable energy and water conservation across all 33 London Boroughs. Degrees Cooler: Working with the NUS to encourage staff and students to 'green up' their universities.

Fit to Drink: Fit to Drink is a pilot campaign aimed at promoting tap instead of bottled water to East London’s Muslim community.
Behaviour change is all about discouraging the bad, supporting something better and encouraging the best. The increasing interest in influencing individual behaviours stems from a growing recognition that today’s most intractable problems, such as climate change, health, community participation and sustainability cannot be solved by either government or individuals acting alone.
