Who are our members?
At UK100, we unite ambitious local councils across the UK to drive climate action at scale.

Members include single-tier councils (Unitary authorities), two-tier councils (district & county councils), and combined authorities.
What our members say
“The Climate Leadership Academy came at just the right time for me. Having completed my first year as councillor and Executive Member for climate, waste, and sustainability, it was fantastic to be part of a learning team of peers from all different councils and political persuasion, knowing we all want to achieve the same thing.”
“UK100 has been a game changer for us in Calderdale as we have a team of technical experts, but what we needed was to develop our leadership of climate action. That is UK100’s real strength - the really wide range of leadership skills that we can then apply to the climate agenda, and the network of inspiration that we can learn from.”
“In truth, deciding to put my name forward took a great deal of soul-searching, it's a huge commitment to give up three weekends and travel across the country, but I'm so glad that I did. The opportunity to network with 19 other equally committed Councillors from across both the country and political spectrum alone would make this commitment worthwhile. However, include the wide-ranging topics and impressive speakers and this opportunity is unmissable.”
