Special Webinar: Engaging the Public in the Climate Emergency

This webinar is a great opportunity to discuss with tCI experts and hear our thinking on the key issues facing organisations that need to engage the public thoroughly on how to tackle the climate emergency.

Hot topics we’ll address include:

• A lot of public engagement and consultation has been halted due to the Covid-19 crisis. What can we learn from this crisis and how can we restart this work effectively? It is clear that many people want a greener, better normal to emerge.
• What are the key differences in engaging the public on the climate emergency? It needs a long-term approach to public engagement, not a one-off exercise.
• What are the best ways to engage? – And how do we use the virtues of citizen’s assemblies, juries, participatory budgeting within a sound legal framework whilst delivering the best expert advice, best practice and guidance to help change behaviour in a socially acceptable way?
• Planning for climate change projects has been inconsistent. Of the 282 UK local authorities that made a climate declaration in 2019 and 2020, only 24 had produced a report as of April this year, according to a recent APSE report. We will discuss this report and other recent reports from the perspective of public engagement and consultation.
• How tCI can help you through our Advice and Guidance, research, standards, e-Learning. What would work for you?

This webinar will feature Associates Emma Wilson, Penny Norton and Davy Jones, who all have extensive knowledge of environment and climate issues and public engagement. It will be chaired by Howard Kendall, tCI founder director, and will offer the chance for Q&A.

If you’re serious about getting your climate emergency plans underway effectively, DO NOT miss this opportunity.
