In February 2019, North Somerset Council became one of the first local authorities to declare a climate emergency. We recognise that immediate and urgent action is the best solution to avoid catastrophic climate change.
In 2020, North Somerset Council set out a new Corporate Plan, putting the Climate Emergency at the heart of everything we do. This plan informs other key strategies and plans, whether council documents or those of our partners.
Climate change is such an all-encompassing issue. It increasingly impacts so much of our lives – from our health, to our jobs, the price of our food, and the extreme weather it creates. Because of this, we have embedded the actions required to reduce these impacts into everything that we do as a council, and as a community.
We’ve put together this short video to explain in more detail what Carbon Literacy training is all about, and how it can have a very positive impact on your business or organisation.
