Does the council have an ongoing way for residents to influence the implementation of the council's Climate Action Plan?

Criteria

Two-tier criteria
First tier criteria met if the council has established a way for residents to influence the implementation of the council's climate action. This may be through:
- a community engagement group
- introducing community, resident or activist representation on a council climate change committee/group
- convening or using a local climate action network to improve the implementation of their climate action plan
- broader forms of community engagement work such as a series of workshops across the area for different groups of residents.

Second tier criteria met if there is an overarching framework such as a dedicated climate public engagement plan to inform this work.

Clarifications

The way that councils engage with residents can include time bound engagement work such as climate assemblies provided they have been held since 1st January 2023. This is to ensure that the work is ongoing.
