The world of local government is weird and wonderful - Join us to get a better understanding of how councils work and what they and you can do with councils for #ClimateAction .
Please pass on!

And even better, this course is free this year thanks to Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust 🙂

For those keen eyed people, you'll notice that, yes, that is a picture of the back of me from my People & Planet days being used to recruit this time around!
These roles at P&P are fabulous, one the best gateways into climate and migrant campaigning as a job that there is ✊

Brilliant news - great decision by all the Brighton and Hove councillors who have voted unanimously to let the restoration work on the Hippodrome continue. It will be amazing to see this historic venue come back to life properly!

Just two more days to donate to our Spring Appeal! ✨

care workers drive more miles than 95% of us, spending a fortune on fuel while doing some of the worlds most important work.

if we got them in electric cars we’d cut carbon from some of the highest emitters while saving £ for some of the lowest earners.

This data from the LGANews survey is needed, further showing that a lack of national leadership & funding makes net zero work at a local level hard.
This chimes with what Climate Emergency UK say in their recent report, calling for a funded statutory duty on climate for councils.

Look at our lovely team with our 'baby', our report. Thanks to Anthesis for working with us on this and thanks to everyone who attended the Conference yesterday - even as the chair of a lot of panels I learnt a lot!

Looking forward to this tomorrow.
As a remote organisation is is even more exciting to meet so many people we have worked with or had calls with on Zoom, in person 😄

'Districts have faced the highest real terms cuts of any council type over the past 14 years - a staggering -34%.
If we are to ensure that the vital and valued services districts provide continue, we must fund local government properly' says Helen Morgan MP 🔶 #DCNconf2024

On the train to the District Councils' Network Conference today, #dcnconf2024 .
Looking forward to meeting staff and councillors who have been part of delivering their councils' net zero work which we assessed in our 2023 Council Climate Action Scorecards: councilclimatescorecards.uk

Join us in person next month to see what factors enable council climate action, and discuss how we can get the funding and policies councils need from national government to go further.

Lovely to be at SECA annual gathering. Hearing about what residents across the South East are doing to push for climate action at a local and regional level, working together and using the Climate Emergency UK Scorecards.

Julia Cushion, Policy and Advocacy Manager at mySociety and Annie, Climate Emergency UK Operations Director, make the case for better data in a joint response article published in LGC 📊🌍💚

Great to write about what is needed from a Funding perspective to support council climate action, to support initiatives such as our Scorecards: councilclimatescorecards.uk
