Every action counts
Every Action Counts is an initiative supported by Defra and delivered through a consortium of voluntary and community sector organisations, of which the ECA is a member. The initiative is designed to help voluntary and community sector groups make environmental choices to safeguard the future of our planet.

Just Act - bring the third sector declaration on climate change to life
The Third Sector Declaration on Climate Change was drawn up by Every Action Counts as a statement of intent from Third Sector organisations to tackle the issue of climate change by taking actions within our organisations and communities.
The Declaration was reviewed and renewed in 2008 by Capacity Global, who have created Just Act to support Third Sector organisations take action on climate change. The Just Act website supports organisations to help each other create, implement and renew their action plan on climate change.
The ECA was an early signitory to the declaration and are signed up to the Just Act website.
