Kids Climate Action Network (Kids CAN) is a coalition of Oxford-based organisations and individuals working to create safe, fact-based and empowering climate change resources and information for children, and to support the adults around them.  It was initiated by Mim Saxl at Low Carbon West Oxford.

The wider network is not currently active, but materials are still being generated by Low Carbon West Oxford (thanks to funding from Westmill Solar Cooperative and Low Carbon Hub) and are freely downloadable on the website.
