Barnet Climate Action Month (BCAM) 2025

Barnet Climate Action Month (BCAM) will be taking place from 1 to 30 June 2025.

BCAM will run alongside London Climate Action Week to raise awareness of Barnet’s commitment to becoming a net zero borough by 2042 and promote, accelerate and celebrate climate action across Barnet in all its forms. Barnet’s community has always been its biggest strength and we’re eager to find out what you are already doing or considering doing.

Many events in the BCAM programme are also featuring in the London Festival of Architecture. Find out more about the London Festival of Architecture.

What types of events will feature in BCAM 2025?

BCAM will highlight a programme of events that are collaborative, inclusive and community focussed.

Events being promoted will include:

• Practical activities/workshops
• Lectures
• Local summer festivals
• Exhibitions and art installation
• Cultural events, faith and community gatherings

Barnet Climate Action Month 2024

Last year, Barnet Council launched its first ever Barnet Climate Action Month (BCAM) from 10 June to 7 July 2024. Working with community groups and Middlesex University, the Council promoted an exciting range of events, appealing to residents of all ages across the borough. BCAM featured as part of London Climate Action Week 2024 (22-30 June), one of the world’s largest independent climate change events hosted by E3G.

25 events took place across the borough attracting over 700 attendees, including an Eco Show and Tell for Clean Air Day, two workshops run in association with Bloomberg on climate risk and a community wellbeing garden launch party with Incredible Edible. It was celebrated at a closing event held at the Royal Air Force Museum featuring performances, the announcement of the winners of the BarNET ZERO Challenge, the launch of the Council’s first ever Sustainability annual report and presentations from community climate action groups formed in response to our Citizen’s Assembly on Biodiversity and Climate Change.

“Everyone was happy to contribute for a good cause…[and] were thrilled to be part of the creation of public art” – BCAM 2024 organiser

Together we want to spark ongoing interest in sustainable topics and activities, to inspire everyone to take part.
