Sustainability & Climate Change

Sustainability and Climate Change

Adaptation measures for your Town or Parish Council

This topic has never been more relevant, particularly as councils are urged to help adapt and mitigate the damaging effects of Climate Change.

This session identifies practical changes and steps councils can realistically implement; to operate more sustainably and act as a catalyst for positive change within your community.

Participants will be taken through:-

·         The current situation and issues in Cambridgeshire

·         Accessible advice, support and funding

·         Liaising and working in partnership with local groups

·         Case studies of positive community action

·         Energy efficiency and reducing your council’s carbon footprint

Organised by colleagues from Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Association of Local Councils Ltd (CAPALC), this session will be delivered by Mike Deegan Consulting.

Mike Deegan has over 20 years experience working with a charity and a decade as a councillor with his local parish council. His experience means he knows how to address relevant difficult situations to help find solutions and positive outcomes.
