Save Our Shropshire CIO has ventured beyond the borders of Shropshire to deliver Climate Change education to Ashington and other Councils in Northumberland.Ashington Town Council, with a population of 28,000, was keen to take up Town and parish-specific training in Carbon Literacy to support the work of their committee.
“They have a unique opportunity to engage the local community in climate action, create plans to mitigate and adapt to climate change, and integrate climate change into decision-making. To help to achieve this, councillors and officers need the knowledge and skills to cascade environmentally sustainable and socially responsible values and engage local residents in taking effective and transformative action.
“Investing in Carbon Literacy Training is an investment in our community’s future. Together, we can make informed choices and inspire a wave of positive change, reducing our collective carbon footprint and leaving a legacy of environmental stewardship for generations to come. As a Climate Change Committee, we are keen to develop the pledges we made on the Carbon Literacy Training into plans and actions.
“Through collective small actions, we can achieve significant change, paving the way for a sustainable future that begins right on our doorsteps.”Richard Watkins, from SOS, concluded: “Ashington Town Council is keen to share our good news climate stories, to exchange ideas, and to provide a platform onto the training. We hope to encourage more local councils to participate in training and to take proactive steps towards sustainability.
