Climate in Common is a communications toolkit produced by the Working Class Climate Alliance, funded by the European Union through the Green Economy Coalition and IIED Europe. Working class communities are on the front line of climate impacts, from flooding to heatwaves, yet adaptation decisions are routinely made without them, and opponents of climate policy exploit that exclusion by casting environmental measures as an expensive imposition by an out of touch liberal elite.

The toolkit gives campaigners, civil society organisations and policymakers ten practical tools for building working class engagement with climate policy, including the adaptation measures that will reshape their homes, streets and livelihoods.
