We invite you to take part in two online workshops for local authorities across England, Scotland, and Wales* tackling climate challenges. These sessions will be hosted by the Climate Change Committee (CCC) and facilitated by CAG Consultants. The CCC has recently published its advice on the UK’s Seventh Carbon Budget and will next year publish the UK’s Fourth Climate Change Risk Assessment. The aim of these sessions will be to gather insights to inform advice that interprets what these assessments mean for local authorities.
*A separate workshop will be held for councils in Northern Ireland.
