Going Beyond The Conventional Local Climate Action Plan.

In recent months local authorities across the UK have been queuing up to declare a climate emergency but in the rush not to be left out have they really thought through what this means? They may have set net zero targets for the years ahead but have they gone beyond that or have the relied with on a conventional approach that is often consultant rather than community led.?

In this Podcast we will look at how some local authorities globally have gone beyond the conventional and have set up a process and outcome that is truly inclusive and comprehensive.

We will particularly look at two major initiatives that does this. One will be the development of local green new deals (GND) local GND hubs and GND Town Hall meetings.The second will, be those local authorities that have taken up the “doughnut economic model” to both pursue and also measure sustainability in localities.

These are exciting and organic developments that ensures that tackling climate change and sustainability locally is an ongoing process.

We will discover that these are initiatives that truly involve the local community from the start and right through the process. They are based on the principle that we are all in this together.
