For many years, organisations such as Friends of the Earth encouraged communities to act globally and think locally to save the planet. Councils do not get any more local than local (parish and town) councils. But despite the warnings of extreme weather phenomena being a regular occurrence unless net zero is reached within a generation – to what extent are local councils heeding this call?

This event will unveil the latest environmental projects local councils across England have been involved in to increase biodiversity and make an impact in reducing climate change.

Join us to discover how a national stakeholder interested in rural sustainability works with communities to save the planet. Hear excellent local council case studies and get incredible tips to learn how your local council can think globally and act locally in the fight against climate change.

Speaker: Megan Blyth, local and community empowerment project manager at the Centre for Sustainable Energy, Culvin Milmer, visitor services manager and business development officer at Swanage Town Council and Cllr Richard Neale of Draughton Parish Council
