About us

RECLAIM Network Plus is a 'one-stop-shop’ for towns and cities to find the information and support you need to install green and blue infrastructure in your communities and to put you in touch with others with similar interests and experiences. 

  • We are building a community of practice which will address knowledge gaps and implementation challenges, and will fast-track solutions that allow cities to overcome climate and societal challenges. 

  • Members include city officials, business and industry, NGOs and academics, and come from the UK and worldwide.
