7 September 2026. Giving a voice to our grandchildren who are already facing the reality of climate change. A new piece from our regular contributor Dennis Ayling, entitled High Noon for Nature, Humanity and a Retail Pioneer.
We have been a bit quiet for a while now. With Barnet Climate Action Week returning from 10–18 October 2026, I would be happy to host a page on this web site with information about any event you may be planning.
I have one event already: a screening of The People’s Emergency Briefing at the Phoenix Cinema, Finchley on Wednesday 14th October 2026 in the evening. This is the film version of the in-person National Emergency Briefing on the climate and nature crisis held on 27th November 2025.
30 December 2025. A personal reflection on 2025 from Dennis Ayling – can we still keep 1.5 alive? Views of the Grand Canyon, and thoughts on the care of Barnet’s parks, open spaces and streams.
4 August 2025. Dennis Ayling asks “Is Barnet’s Biological Bridge Falling Down?”.
Barnet Climate Action Group (BCAG) is made up of concerned residents of the London Borough of Barnet from across faith, cultural, environmental & political organisations, wanting to take action tackling our current climate emergency.
BCAG has met on an almost monthly basis since May 2019 to explore opportunities for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and wider environmental action in the borough of Barnet. Issues covered have ranged from reducing carbon emissions from homes in Barnet, London’s future transport plans, planning and climate change, the roll out of electric vehicles in the suburbs to briefing on COP26.
Our focus has been to look at what all sectors of the borough, from residents and local businesses, to the council and wider public sector, can all do to help reduce emissions and contribute to a greener borough. As a result of the impacts of Covid-19 and the subsequent lockdown, there are now calls to not only ‘build back better’ but also ‘build back greener’.
