Glasgow’s Climate Plan
GCCAN are collaborating with Glasgow City Council to offer an in-person, interactive consultation on Glasgow’s Climate Plan. The session will be a mix of information sharing through presentations with group activities focussing on specific areas of the plan to allow for discussion, feedback and questions. Glasgow City Council’s Sustainability Team will be on hand to lead the discussion and answer questions.
The results of the session will form part of the response to the plans formal consultation process and will be used to inform the final plan which is expected to be published in the spring.
It would be useful if everyone attending the session could look at the consultation page. You’ll find a quick guide with the plan and we would encourage everyone to take a look at any areas of the full plan that relate to their work
Tuesday the 24th of February 10am-1.30pm
The session will run until 12.30pm and then lunch will be provided with an opportunity to connect informally with friends and colleagues until 1.30pm.
Climate adaptation across the world
Andrew Williams from Verture was fortunate enough to attend COP 30 this year. He’ll be coming along to share what he’s learned about climate adaptation in other countries followed by an opportunity to discuss what these examples might mean for Glasgow’s communities and how they might inspire us.
Climate engagement and information literacy
With climate issues being a contentious topic online and with an election on the horizon, information literacy has never been more vital. Robert Ball, environmental adviser at Glasgow Council for the Voluntary Sector will be introducing this session.
Neil Lovelock from Glasgow Eco Trust and Helen Miller from Village Storytelling will share their successes in engaging communities on climate issues and some of the misinformation they’ve encountered. They’ll be followed by Dr Sara Thomas from Wikimedia Foundation and BOOM! Community Arts to talk about information literacy and fact-checking.
