Rivers of Reading event

The Reading Climate Festival has been a great week of events, all supporting the launch of our new Climate Emergency Strategy. This was a perfect opportunity for us, the ReadingCAN Water Theme. To present our Vision and plans for the 5 year strategy.

In our event (9 Nov 2020), I used the two main rivers of Reading to introduce the key issues that we face: the need to be more water efficient, and preserve our water supplies; whilst also being prepared for bigger and more frequent floods.

We have a fantastic group of people and organisations making up the Water Theme. I was very keen therefore to show-off the range of voices involved. Hence this is a whistle-stop tour…and hopefully very engaging presentation.

You can watch the 1 hour presentation here. Sadly my internet connection was not great, so it does go silent for a minute in the introduction to part 2. Otherwise, everything went well.

CDP cities logo Reading added to Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) ‘A’ List
23 November 2021

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?
