Invitation to join the Climate Action Forum for Lewes District

Climate Action Forum for Lewes District

A new Climate Action Forum for Lewes district is being created and we would like to invite all those interested to the first meeting on Zoom on Wednesday 7th October, from 4pm to 6pm.

The forum is being hosted by Sustainable Business Partnership CIC and 3VA.

This forum aims to achieve the following:

• Maximise opportunities for feedback to Lewes District Council on their Climate Change and Sustainability Framework.
• Support the creation of shared ideas for climate action.
• Enable Community involvement in climate action.
• Develop an ongoing group of interested stakeholders.

We want to provide an opportunity to give voice to, support and develop assets and solutions that lie within our local communities. We recognise that many other organisations and projects are going on already. This forum is created to maximise opportunities for community voice and new collaborative action and so we are clear we will not be duplicating what is already there!

We hope people from all parts of our community (local residents, parish and town councils, voluntary and community organisations, businesses, educational establishments, nature groups, and bodies with an interest in agriculture food, health and transport) will all feel included and want to get involved. This includes a specific focus on involving and hearing from local young people.

To enable the forum to bring together people and projects a website and social media presence is being developed to act as a focal point for action and to bring together groups, discussion, and practical information. There will also be active recruitment of existing ‘offline’ community groups to reach this those less likely to participate in an online platform.
