About CANN
CANN is a coalition of local voluntary and community organisations - environment and development groups, faith groups, humanitarian organisations, women's groups, trade unions and others
- working together to achieve more effective action on climate change.
| CANN was launched on 1st July 2006. On a blisteringly hot day we set up our stall outside Nottingham Castle and invited passers-by to add a cut-out leaf with an action pledge to our tree. A number of MPs joined us and the event was covered by local media. |
