Community Action for Climate Change Network : Llangollen Event Nov. 18th 2009

The Community Action for Climate Change Networks are running a second series of FREE (see booking form) events during November 2009. In order to meet the local need to take action on climate change the events will offer an opportunity to:

  • network with others from community groups, from small businesses, form local authorities and others,

  • build on the recent learning from a Sustainable Behaviour Change workshop in Newtown

  • develop local action plans, and

  • Identify future training and development requirements

Each event will have a slightly different focus for developing action plans and you are welcomed to come along to your local Network and /or whichever location suits your needs best.

Newport – November 12 – will explore action planning on a large scale

Llangollen – November 18 - will focus on a joint understanding of good practice for Small and Medium Enterprises and community action

Aberystwyth – November 26 – will use as live examples from three different community groups that are currently planning local action

All events will have inputs from a diverse group of speakers to stimulate thinking and planning.

This latest series of events aim to build on the success of the first set of Community Action for Climate Change Network events which took place during May 2009, where cutting edge speakers and workshops were linked to lively discussion and debate on community action and plans for Wales.
