Community Climate Action Network Conference

A great day that brought together a good mix of people from all over Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire and beyond. Loads of stories of innovative, inspiring and creative things happening across the sub-region.

Simon Redding from Transition Chesterfield, Emma Bridge from Community Energy England and George Marshall from Climate Outreach developed the theme of the power and value of social enterprise in engaging people in building a viable low carbon futures for our communities.

Discussion groups gave delegates the chance to find out more about a wide range of projects, tools and advice and to share their thoughts and feelings. A creative thread of community powered poetry was woven throughout the day.

New contacts and connections were made, the previously known caught up. New challenges and opportunities were assessed, plans were hatched. Inspiration was spawned.
