Have your say in securing a prosperous and sustainable future for Reading
Reading Climate Change Partnership http://reading2020.org.uk/climate-change is overseeing the development of a new Climate Change Strategy for Reading.
We want to engage all sections of Reading’s communities in developing a shared strategy to meet the challenges that climate change presents, as well as grasp the opportunities to develop a more sustainable and resilient Reading.
We would like to invite you to join the conversation and make practical suggestions to help with the development of the strategy via the Reading Green Business Network website, which we are using as a platform for discussion.
In order to comment through the RGBN website you will need to register once; then you can contribute to one or more of the forums which will feed in to development of the strategy. You can find a user guide for the website at the top of the left hand column of the home page http://www.rgbn.org.uk
The forums have been developed from the outputs of the ‘Reading Means Business on Climate Change’ event on 12 January 2012 at the University of Reading, where attendees provided a wealth of suggestions for the direction of the new strategy, as well as proposals for a variety of different actions which might be included in the action plan. You can find documentation of the outputs on the RGBN web site.
Some of the questions we are keen to address include: What are your priorities for Reading? What should we be aiming for? Who can make your ideas happen? What role can you play?
We would like the new Climate Change Strategy to truly reflect the views of the people of Reading. Please take this opportunity to make your voice heard and ask your friends, colleagues, neighbours and family to input too.
Paul Harper, GREN representative on Reading Climate Change Partnership
