We Work Together
We are an umbrella organisation enabling all Bucks organisations and groups concerned about the Climate Crisis and Biodiversity Loss, to come together as one powerful voice, calling on Buckinghamshire Council to ACT NOW.
Our Mission
To ask Buckinghamshire Council to acknowledge that there is a Climate Emergency and therefore a need for urgent action to reach Net Zero emissions across the county without delay.
Support Buckinghamshire Council to incorporate a consideration of climate change impacts as a key factor in all decision-making across the Council’s functions and all policy areas.
Work together as a network of climate action and community groups to raise awareness among residents, local authorities and businesses of climate change, and support, enable and encourage appropriate action.
Actions:
- Evaluating Council strategy and giving constructive feedback
- Raising important questions at Council Committee meetings
- Co-ordinating action to highlight depth of feeling in the county
- Engagement with Community Boards to champion the climate in local decisions.
