What Is the Purpose of the Group?
Castle Point Climate Action Group was created:
• To educate ourselves and our fellow residents about the existential threat posed by global warming, human impact and biodiversity loss.
• To increase understanding of, and support for, the societal and economic changes needed to mitigate climate change.
• To consider the ways that we, as residents of Castle Point, can change our habits and behaviours to make our daily lives more sustainable.
• To work with local residents, local government, businesses and key stakeholders as necessary to achieve the above aims
Who is the Group For?
Anyone who is concerned about climate change, regardless of age, political affiliation, race, or sexual orientation. Whilst the Group welcomes members who already understand the dangers of global heating, it is particularly keen to attract residents who do not have that knowledge, but want to learn more about the science underlying climate change and what they can do to protect themselves, their families, and their community from the worst effects of climate breakdown.
What are our Core Values?
• To show respect for our world and our environment, and for all the species that share our planet with us, and to work towards creating a safe and sustainable future for everyone.
• To show respect for our fellow members, regardless of race, sexual orientation or political affiliation
• To provide a nurturing and non-judgemental forum where people can learn about climate change and other environmental topics, and debate and explore the issues without fear of being ridiculed or abused.
• To value and disseminate information based on scientific research and verifiable data.
How Will We Achieve Our Aims?
• By engaging with residents through events, social media and other means to explain the climate and biodiversity crises, and to encourage them to become agents of change.
• By offering advice to households and businesses on reducing their carbon footprint and their environmental impact.
• By lobbying and, where appropriate, cooperating with Castle Point Council and ECC to achieve net zero carbon emissions by the earliest possible date.
• By cooperating with local charities and NGO's in respect of climate and biodiversity campaigns
