Community Climate Action Webinar / Gweminar Gweithredu Hinsawdd Gymunedol

Egin supports communities in taking climate action and living more sustainably – but what does that really mean? The term “climate action” can already be vague enough, but when you add “community” into the mix it can become even more confusing.

Community climate action could be anything that brings together different voices from the community to reduce carbon emissions, change lifestyles to live in better balance with the earth, rethink how much we really need to use and throw away, or to help adapt to climate change. Some examples might include, but are not limited to: repair cafes, Libraries of Things, community gardens, community energy projects, car sharing, electric bike sharing, and green skill-building projects.

Our Egin Peer Mentors have experience of being involved with, or setting up, community led climate action projects. In this webinar, you’ll be able to hear from a selection of our Mentors about real-life examples of community climate action – including a little about the specific challenges that their communities face.

In this webinar, we talked about some of the real-world climate projects our mentors are involved with and heard about the challenges they face.
