Contact details for Diocesan Environmental Officers and Net Zero Carbon Officers

The majority of diocese have a Diocesan Environmental Officer (DEO) (or equivalent). Please bear in mind that some DEOs are volunteers while others are employed part-time.

Increasingly, dioceses also have Net Zero Carbon (NZC) Officers (or equivalent). Where these are in place, their details are also given below.

If you are from a parish, and are considering making changes to your church building, remember you can also contact your Diocesan Advisory Committees (DAC) Secretary. Their contact details can be found here.
