How Climate Emergency UK use FOI requests to make previously unseen datasets
Climate Emergency UK are mySociety’s partners in the Council Climate Action Scorecards project, which score every UK council across dozens of measures. In aggregate, the scores give councils a clear way to see how they’re doing, and concerned citizens a useful tool to scrutinise their own local authorities.

FOI Fest was a one-day conference from mySociety in February 2026.
