Winchester – Action on Climate Change Workshops
LCCN members Winchester Action on Climate Change have teamed up with Southampton University to mount a two day interactive workshop. This is a great opportunity to hear and discuss ideas for community level action from a wide range of speakers, several of whom are LCCN members/supporters. Information from WinACC below.
Everyone welcome on one or both days, especially people who are active on climate change locally.
Come to explore national policy options and changes that we can make in our communities to help prevent runaway climate change at this important workshop just ahead of vitally important international negotiations at the UN Conference of the Parties in Copenhagen in December. More information at http://transitiontolowcarbon.org/
Engage with leading experts on policy and sustainability and together work out how to convert ideas into action.
On Friday the conference focusses on UK policy in a global context. On Saturday it explores how to develop carbon reduction measures at a community level. A wide range of schemes will be discussed including co-operatively owned renewable energy projects.
Speakers on both days will be encouraged to think about the relationship between national policy and community approaches.Speakers include politicians, climate policy analysts and practitioners from a range of innovative ‘grass roots’ projects for fossil fuel reduction.
