A Climate Emergency Action Plan Toolkit for Community Organisations: Pilot Study Results

Abstract

Leicester City Council (LCC) are encouraging businesses and organisations across Leicester to create their own Climate Emergency Action Plans, to play their part in the city’s efforts to achieve carbon neutrality by 2030. To support this, LCC are developing a standalone ‘Climate Emergency Action Plan toolkit’, which can be used by non-business community organisations in the city to develop their own action plans to reduce their carbon footprint (CF), and other negative environmental impacts through measures such as improved energy efficiency in buildings, modal shifts in transport or otherwise. This project aimed to aid development of this toolkit through piloting a small-scale offer of support and eliciting feedback on the draft resources.
