Councils are at the forefront of the UK’s steps to cut carbon emissions and protect our environment. As part of the Co-operative Party’s focus on COP26, this online event will examine the difference that our Councillors can make at a local government level as we move to net-zero carbon emissions. From declaring climate emergencies; recycling, reusing and composting of waste collection; decarbonising transport, electric vehicle charging, green spaces and parks, to divestment from fossil fuels,
Speakers include: Cllr Joe Cullinane – Leader North Ayrshire Council; Cllr Tom Hayes – Deputy Leader & Cabinet Member for Green Transport and Zero Carbon Oxford Council; Cllr Joan Dixon, Leader of Labour Group Derbyshire County Council.
This facilitated event will be live captioned for greater accessibility.
