Join us for the launch of:-

The Community Climate Action Toolkit

Create Centre, Bristol, BS1 6XN

Thursday 27th April 2023

Time: 2-5pm

Are you looking to take action in your local community on climate change or working to support others who are doing so?

Come along to find out about the Community Climate Action Toolkit and to meet others interested in community action.

The Toolkit aims to provide practical and easy to use tools and resources to empower a small group of people to take action on climate change in their community.

 

This Community Climate Action Toolkit:

  • Provides practical and easy to use tools and resources on how to setup and develop or refresh a climate change action group
  • Helps a group understand their local situation
  • Helps a group move in to meaningful action to reduce future climate change and cope with the change that is already happening
  • Helps ensure a diversity of views and approaches are considered.
  • Encourages consideration of action at different levels, recognising the value of personal and community action as well as working to influence the wider context
  • Helps a group find a creative way forward, not follow a defined route (every community is unique!).

The Toolkit stresses the importance of systems thinking, complementing other ways of thinking. It aims to help a group to look more broadly at a situation and embrace the messy complexity of the real world. The community climate action toolkit was co-authored by Katie Dick and Richard Erskine, who are Fellows of The Schumacher Institute.

It has been supported by The Schumacher Institute and the COMMEET fellowship and produced with the help of an international group of contributors and commenters.
