Organisations and individuals need to take energy and climate change
issues into account when planning their work. Delivering climate goals
will require the engagement of a wide range of stakeholders, including
community organisations.
This course will teach you the skills and information needed to
develop long-term engagement of civil society organisations, groups
and individuals in work on climate change and low-carbon living.
The new Localism Bill stresses the need for better community
engagement: the question is how to make that engagement happen on this
complex issue. While some groups are active on limiting and adapting
to climate change, this poses unique challenges to the majority who
may have other interests and priorities.
This course outlines why climate change can be a particularly
problematic issue for communities, how to overcome this and how this
links to issues around the new Localism Bill and the ‘Big Society’.
Who should attend the training?
The course will benefit anyone working with or seeking to work with
community organisations on behaviour change, projects or local action
planning. It will include a review of the new moves towards localism
and how these impact on climate and sustainability work.
It is designed for climate and energy staff, community workers,
organisers and activists. It covers approaches to work with both
enthusiastic and less engaged communities. All participants will have
time to work on developing their own actions plans for work after the
course.
Facilitated by Chris Church
