2022 Objectives
The areas we need to address for this chapter feature throughout the report, predominantly in the Effective Policies and What Next chapters. Perhaps even more than in other areas the issues here are beyond our councils’ scope. However, councils can support practical issues of justice and fairness through aspects such as:
- Implementing Citizens Assemblies to address issues of prioritisation and contentious aspects of CEE plans.
- Providing free / low-cost access to council property for community group meetings and activities.
- Identifying and securing premises for Climate Emergency Centres.
- Identifying ways to support the wider adoption of ‘fair trade’ schemes.
- Creating local task forces that not only include the wider public and private sectors but also bring in direct citizen and community participants.
