We are Eastbourne ECO Action Network, based in the coastal town of Eastbourne in East Sussex. We have a mission to help Eastbourne become a Carbon Neutral town by 2030, thereby making a significant, fair contribution towards the UK’s legally binding target of achieving Net Zero by 2050.

We bring local people, businesses, and councils and community groups together to take bold climate action. Our projects aim to cut carbon emissions as quickly and efficiently as possible, while creating cleaner air, safer streets, and greener spaces—making life better for everyone
