Overview
Come along to this short session to get a taster of the SLCC’s Carbon Literacy Qualification workshop. You get a guide on how to put together a climate action plan (perhaps modifying your neighbourhood plan). You will find out how to engage other councillors in supporting projects which will bring great benefits to the community.
You will find out lots about what other councils have done and where they found the money. You will learn how to engage the community in a thriving movement who will save energy, make homes cosier, improve local transport, stop waste and save Nature. You will be able to create a sustainable NPPF. There is a huge (r)evolution on its way.
As one clerk put it “The Carbon Literacy Qualification delivered for the SLCC is simply inspirational and a must for all Clerks and Officers employed by Town and Parish Councils”.
