Me speaking at the Reading Climate Change People’s March on 28 November 2015

In late April 2018 I was delighted to be voted in as Chair of the Reading Climate Change Partnership (RCCP). I’ll be serving for the next couple of years. And I’m looking forward to leading us through a period of growth, and the development of stronger links with communities and businesses across the town. These are challenging times. We need to regain the focus on climate change… something that has been sorely lacking over the last decade, despite the ever-more regular extreme weather events that we are seeing.

Happily Reading is in a positive place. We are just about to launch our new website ReadingCAN.org.uk (September 2018) – for the Reading Climate Action Network (RCAN). On the site we will share progress on the Reading Climate Change Strategy, and let you know about other climate change activities that you can get involved in.

I am very happy to see that Reading has been added to the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) 'A' List on Climate Action. Out of more than 1000 towns and cities worldwide, Reading is one of just 95 towns (10 in the UK) to receive top score on climate action. It has been great to be a part of that journey with the ReadingCAN (Climate Action Network). Knowing that the town has a strong strategy and adaptation plan is a really important part of that. Fingers-crossed that we can keep up the momentum for the future.

I am delighted to be on the panel for this event on Friday 26 November: As our climate changes, how do we protect British landscapes and encourage resilience amongst their local communities ? Join us to discover how communities have coped with environmental change in the past and the lessons we can all learn from this, as we deal with the effects of climate change happening right now. How are these landscapes altering and what adaptations do we need to make to ensure our management of them is sustainable?
