Green week
Big questions? Let's explore them together
Join us for Tower Hamlets Green Week 2026, where this year's theme is tackling climate misinformation. With so much information online and in the media, it can be difficult to know what's fact, what's fiction and what actions really make a difference.
Through a week of free events, activities and community experiences, Green Week invites residents to get curious about climate action in Tower Hamlets.
Discover the facts behind some of the most common questions about climate change and sustainability, hear from local people making a difference, and explore practical ways you can take action in your everyday life.
