Climate Emergency Action Group

The GreenArdors: Climate Emergency Action Group are a group of students who are campaigning to save the world.

As a means of increasing engagement and awareness, we are involved in everything from building and growing in the Strathclyde Community Garden, taking part in national protests, campaigning for change to Strathclyde climate policy and linking students to climate-related opportunities, to campaigning for governments to make systemic changes.

If you want to get involved in organising campaigns, spreading information, and changing the world through the student movement, come along to our meetings!

For the most up-to-date information about the GreenArdors please follow our social media accounts here and look through our 'All You Need to Know About the GreenArdors' Wiki.
