Strategy & Communication
From "What should the SLP do for climate and nature?"
Go to the project
For me, the trite answer is 'do everything in that table, and it'll all be grand!!'.
But, looking at it - we should have a strategy, which we should communicate, clearly, to all stakeholders. That should include how people can help, how they can change things, etc.
Built -
We should show people where we are, where we intend to go. We should signpost resources available to them to change their built environment - grants, guides, etc. We should make clear statements, supporting and aligned to Net Zero - 'gas boilers are going, this is how you make the transition', etc.
Natural -
Should make clear where we're going, and ask people to help - volunteers, etc.
Movement -
Make clear what's happening.
I'd like us to make a yes / no decision on e-scooters, and - if yes - look at opening up travel on them between Gloucester, Cheltenham, Bishops Cleeve - maybe Tewkesbury.
I'd like to see major footpaths - Wyvern Way / Severn Way invested in and improved.
Renewable -
We should signpost opportunities for people to 'make a change'. Grants, loans etc.
Maybe pilot activity - select a small area, install alternate energy sources, publicise??
Commit to x% of public buildings using rain water, solar power etc.
