The Camps for Climate Action are campaign gatherings (similar to peace camps) that take place to draw attention to, and to act as a base for direct action against major carbon emitters, and to develop ways to create a carbon-neutral society. Camps are run on broadly anarchist principles - free to attend, supported by donations and with input from everyone in the community for the day-to-day operation of the camp. In 2006 a camp took place near Drax power station and in 2007 near Heathrow Airport.
Preceding the 2007 camp, airport operator BAA sought "the mother of all injunctions" to ban an estimated 5 million people from attending, but succeeded in injunctions against just 3 men and the direct action group Plane Stupid, preventing them entry to the airport.
The camp in August 2008 is due to begin with a one day event at Heathrow, followed by a march across London to Kingsnorth power station, in common with seven other camps globally that will be targeting coal.
