PA9Staff Climate Champions Group

The Climate Champions Group serves as a network of internal advocates, supporting the implementation of climate-related initiatives, raising awareness among colleagues, and helping to embed environmental considerations into the Council’s daily operations. By sharing knowledge, promoting behaviour change, and identifying opportunities for improvement, the group plays a vital role in advancing the Council’s climate goals and fostering a culture of environmental responsibility across the organisation.

In its first year, group members received targeted training to enhance their understanding of climate issues and build confidence in leading a wide range of sustainability initiatives within the Council.

Looking ahead, the Climate Champions Group will be organised into dedicated subgroups, each focusing on specific areas such as sustainable transport, event sustainability, community energy, greening the workspace, and waste and recycling. This more focused structure will enable members to apply their skills more effectively, share expertise, and drive meaningful progress in key sustainability areas, further supporting the Council’s broader climate objectives.
