What's being done to tackle climate change?

Climate change - action in Cornwall

Climate Radio
Cornwall Friends of the Earth has received funding from Defra's Climate Challenge Fund to run the ‘Climate Radio' project on Pirate FM. The funding provides us with an opportunity to communicate a positive message about why people are doing things in Cornwall to tackle climate change to a large audience. Contact info[at]climateradio.org for more information.

Climate Friendly Parish
In August 2006, St Endellion Parish Council voted unanimously to be Cornwall’s first ‘Climate Friendly Parish’. The Climate Friendly Parish project was developed by Cornwall Friends of the Earth and is an exciting new project aimed at giving recognition and support to those communities working to reduce the threat of climate change. To be awarded the ‘Climate Friendly’ status a community must reduce its carbon emissions by 5% each year. Visit Climate Friendly St Endellion

Cornwall Climate Change Forum
Cornwall Friends of the Earth have been instrumental in the development of a Cornwall wide network of community groups. The Forum was formed in January 2006 and is a coalition of environment groups, faith organisations, women’s groups, unions and other community groups. These groups have come together to tackle climate change at all levels of society. If you would like get involved please contact Clayton Elliott on celliott73[at]yahoo.co.uk

Climate Change Newsletter
The first Cornwall Climate Change Newsletter, ‘Change!’ came out to celebrate the International Day of Climate Protest on 3 December 2005. Download the latest newsletter here. If you would like get a paper copy of the Newsletter or have suggestions for future issues, please contact Clayton Elliott on celliott73[at]yahoo.co.uk
