De Montfort University (DMU) are hosting a free online workshop on 11 November 2021 12pm to 1.30pm looking at how community organisations in Leicester can play their part in addressing the climate crisis.
DMU staff have been working with Leicester City Council over the past six months to pilot and develop a self-service toolkit that aims to help Leicester-based community organisations to know what steps to take to make a difference.
The toolkit highlights how to measure your emissions, key steps to reduce your carbon footprint and how to find further guidance and support.
The City Council is aiming for Leicester to be a carbon neutral city by 2030 which means people and organisations across Leicester all playing their part.
Community organisations such as faith centres, sports clubs, neighbourhood centres and charities all have a key role to play – not just through understanding and reducing their own emissions, but also through starting conversations and taking action with their members and supporters.
Joining this virtual event provides a chance to hear top tips for reducing carbon emissions and to explore collaborative opportunities with other organisations that can help make Leicester’s carbon neutrality target a reality.
You can find out more and book to attend the event here.
If this subject is of interest to you but you cannot attend, email Dr Andrew Reeves on areeves@dmu.ac.uk to express interest in piloting the draft toolkit within your organisation over the coming six months.
