What we got up to
In 2019, Camden Council declared a climate emergency and convened a participatory citizens assembly to discuss how we move forward to address ecological and climate crises.
Committed to working with our local community to combat climate change and create greener environments for everyone, the KOKO Foundation works in close collaboration with Camden Council and local grassroots organisation, Think & Do to deliver meaningful change. Together, we’ve planted fruit trees in 26 schools, given over 2000 tree whips through 25 community events and rewilded Kentish Town Fire station. We have launched two pioneering initiatives, Communi-Trees and Beeline Boxes, which bring colour and biodiversity to local estates – as well as creating employment opportunities for young residents. In less than three years, our efforts have contributed to an estimated 40% of newly planted trees in Camden!
Greener environments are not only more climate resilient, they have been proven to have positive social impact, and enhance health and wellbeing. We’re committed to making a positive environmental impact in our community, and feel privileged to collaborate with local residents who share our determination for a happier, greener future for the borough.
