David Attenborough

What a Wonderful World is a climate action group which brings the arts and sciences together to raise local awareness of the climate emergency and bio-diversity loss and what we can each do in our homes and communities to tackle it.
Our Aims are:
- to create awareness of the beauty and wonder of the planet and the threats to all its inhabitants
- to engage people of all ages in arts and science-related activities which will help us understand our predicament and take action that will help prevent further damage and disasters
- to work with like-minded organisations to grow our understanding and raise our voices and support each other.
