Online training presentations and information: An introduction to tackling the Climate Emergency for Local Government
Despite limited progress at a national and international level in tackling the Climate Emergency, local government has been at the forefront of delivering changes that would meet the internationally recognised 1.5oC warming target. Within the UK, local government has had a strong track record of action on climate change with over half of local authorities now having declared a climate emergency and many set out detailed plans to achieve Net-Zero. However, while ambitious, smaller councils often face particular challenges in taking action.
This seminar provides an introduction for both members and officers from smaller local authorities involved in developing responses to the climate emergency and an opportunity to share ideas and best practice.
Below you’ll find the presentation and additional information to download from the workshop that you attended on tackling the climate emergency.
