Getting Started programme
Is your organisation keen to take action on climate and reduce its emissions, but is yet to make a start? Do you feel unsure what first steps to take? If so, Bristol Climate & Nature Partnership's Getting Started programme has been designed for you.
We know that getting started with climate action can feel overwhelming, particularly for smaller organisations. As part of theClimate Action Programme, the Partnership hasdeveloped a new initiative alongside our consultancy partnerEunomia, to help organisations on their way.
The programme consists of three group workshops with tasks to complete in-between, to provide participants with a solid grounding in the steps needed to start taking effective climate action. We will also have a follow-up call a few months after the end of the programme to check in on progress. The workshop topics are:
- Jargon busting and demystification: Monday 28 April, 2 - 4:45pm
- Measuring and monitoring carbon footprint: Monday 9 June, 1:45 - 5pm
- Creating a climate action plan and setting targets: Monday 7 July, 2 - 4.45pm
The aim is for participants to finish the programme with a carbon footprint baseline andan understanding of how to create a climate action plan and their next steps.
The programme is limited to 10 organisations, with each able to send up to two members of staff. We will be prioritising SMEs that have not yet started with climate action and are committed to taking the first steps.
Please register your interest by 2 April, 5pm. We will let you know if you have a place by 9 April.
Please note:By signing up to the programme, participants are committing to:
- Attending all three workshops with the same person attending every time
- Completing the tasks in-between
- Providing feedback directly after the programme finishes and again 3 months later
- Signing up to the Business Carbon Calculator tool – it’s free to do so
We'll also be inviting participants to help us promote future rounds of the programme and to contribute to other Climate Action Programme activities.
