Climate change

Climate change is one of the most important crisis we face as a society today. By working as a community we will have the capacity to solve the issues we have locally to contribute towards a national and international agenda in reducing our impact on the planet.

When we talk about ‘climate change’, ‘net zero’, ‘carbon’, ‘global warming’ and ‘sustainability’ we are saying that a sustainable climate matters.

Sustainable development means not taking so much from our environment that future generations are negatively affected by our choices.

Society is growing in an unsustainable way. In the UK we live as if there were 2.4 planets of resources available. There is only one Earth, and we have to change our ways.

We all need to play our part, as the government is committed to reaching net zero to combat climate change. We must change our lifestyles to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions to stop the changes getting worse. These days many of us as residents and employees are doing more, and we have a part to play too.

Sustainability and the environment is one of the most important subjects of the globe today.
