Climate Change - what can a concerned citizen do?
There is a fast developing consensus that climate change is the major environmental problem of our time. It seems to be very difficult for us to halt deleterious change. However, the Northwest Development Agency is developing an action plan for those of us living in this area.

"Rising to the Challenge - A Climate Change Action Plan for England's Northwest" - Consultation Draft has been developed with input from a limited number of organisations and experts. It sets out potential actions under the five objectives that act toward achieving the Vision. The document reflects our emerging thinking and is intended to provoke wider debate and discussion in the region through a formal consultation exercise. The consultation exercise closed on 5th September 2006. The final Plan was launched on the 9th November.

Following the publication of the NWDA climate change action plan the presentations from the speakers and the action plan itself can now be found online:   http://www.nwda.co.uk/

 

Climate Change - Air Travel

Airplane

One of the fastest growing contributors to CO2 emissions is air travel - as can easily be seen from the massive growth at our local airport (John Lennon) over the last few years. Consultation on the proposals for even more expansion was carried out over the summer and is now closed but the draft plan is still available available on the link below:
