The Lincoln Climate Commission emerged from a collaboration with the City of Lincoln Council, Siemens, Transition Lincoln and the University of Lincoln. Since then the group has expanded to include the valuable input from a range of businesses, organisations and members of the public who wish to work together to make a positive choice on issues relating to energy, carbon, weather and climate. Run by volunteers, the Lincoln Climate Commission is part of the wider Place-Based Climate Action Network.
