Climate emergency pledges at local level
Hackney Council has formally pledged to do all that it can to beat by a decade the UK government's timetable for delivering its work with zero net emissions, under several specific headings: https://news.hackney.gov.uk/hackney-council-pledges-to-reach-net-zero-emissions-by-2040/
Now Sustainable Hackney - an umbrella organisation which aims to bring together every person and organisation working on any aspect of sustainability - has developed a collective community response to those pledges, to be presented to a new local citizens' assembly when that first meets in the New Year: https://st4.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3714234756?profile=original. It's a useful document, although members of this group may notice that our discussions here have ranged further than this on some aspects.
