Southstainable CIC
Southstainable helped shape what the ClimaLab residency is, and set the standard for what a resident gives back to the network.

Action
Lab
Accelerating the ecosystem.
ClimaLab is a residency, a venue and a community for the voluntary and community sector organisations driving climate action across Lambeth. Residents get a free office at We Are 336 for six months and a network of more than 150 organisations.
The point
One roof. One network. One job.
Climate progress is the work of ecosystems. Partnerships grow when people share a space and build trust over time.
ClimaLab exists to speed that up. We give Lambeth's climate organisations a shared base at We Are 336 on Brixton Road and a public programme of events, with partners including the University of Roehampton.
We are infrastructure for Lambeth's climate ecosystem.

YEARS
That is how long the average coalition takes to reach widespread impact.
The finding comes from research by BCG and ChangeNOW. In a climate emergency, fifteen years is too long.
ClimaLab is built on one idea: coalitions move faster when they share a building and a calendar.
