Great Big Green Week 2026, where more than a million people will come together from 6 to 14 June to take action for their communities, for nature and for the climate.
Together for good, we can make our neighbourhoods better places to live, protect the natural world we love and show politicians and decision makers that people across the UK want positive change.
The Great Big Green Week is the UK’s biggest ever celebration of community action to tackle climate change and protect nature.
