Climate Change
Wellingborough's Climate Change Toolkit
Climate change will have far-reaching effects on our community. The
need to adapt to the effects of climate change will be with us for the
rest of this century and beyond.
In 2006 the Borough Council of Wellingborough led the Wellingborough Partnership in the development of a Toolkit to enable interested parties to hold an hour long event looking at the potential effects of climate change in the Borough of Wellingborough. The Toolkit was launched at the Annual Wider Partnership Meeting of the Wellingborough Partnership on the 4th December 2006, and attracted a visit from The Secretary of State for the Environment, the Right Honourable David Miliband the following day.
In the autumn of 2008 the Toolkit's contribution to helping people
consider the impacts of climate change was recognised nationally when
it won a National Green Apple Environment Award, and the Council was
invited to join the National Green Heroes scheme for demonstrating our
committment by helping others to follow our environmental lead.
In addition to that, the Toolkit was also shortlisted for the National Energy Efficiency Awards in the awareness raising category.
The Borough Council has now taken the updating and production of the Toolkit "in-house" and is looking at ways in which it can be used with schools, businesses and other stakeholders in the borough to raise awareness of the issues surrounding our changing climate.
You can download elements of the Toolkit by clicking on the link below. We are happy to speak to anyone within or without the borough who might wish to adapt our ideas to make their own toolkit.
