We at EVOC are delighted to be working in partnership with Our Future Edinburgh to develop a space for communities and residents to actively engage in climate discussions and offer residents practical support to take climate action.
You’re invited to find out more about this initiative at these events:
Let’s Design a New Space for Climate Action in Edinburgh: Tue 9 Nov, 6.30pm
Communities Design a New Space for Climate Action in Edinburgh: Thu 18 Nov, 6.30pm – 8.30pm
in person at SpACE (The Old Fire Station, 76-78 Lauriston Place, Edinburgh)
Sponsored by the City of Edinburgh Council, this new initiative will maintain an ongoing dialogue with citizens and communities about the transformation that needs to happen in the city and how we can collaborate to take decisions and deliver change together. A steering group made up of representatives from a range of community and civil society groups will also be established to shape the forum and carry it forward.
There is already a rich tapestry of community action on climate change going on across Edinburgh and a key aim of the Forum is to be a mechanism for deliberation and co-production of policy and strategic climate action, empowering citizens and communities to influence the public and private sector to go further on tackling climate change.
We’re making plans to launch this new initiative during COP26 and invite any person or organisation interested in participating to send us an expression of interest so that we can keep you updated on next steps and discuss how you can get involved: comms@evoc.org.uk
