A talk by Mike Cockburn – Assistant Director, Parks and Environment, Wirral Council
This is a free event but voluntary contributions are welcome.
Cool 2 calls for a much wider understanding about the climate crisis and the actions we must take. This event is intended to contribute to this understanding, locally.
Followed by Q&A and Discussion
Extracts from the Strategy:
- Everyone has a part to play stopping unnatural climate change. Failure to act will have huge costs. Cool 2 indicates where we need to be, the direction of travel to get there
- To meet our fair share of the global effort to tackle climate change we must get rid of nearly all climate damaging pollution from Wirral by 2041 at the latest.
- Wirral Council has committed to being net carbon zero by 2030 as its locally determined contribution to the Wirral target.
- Other members of the Cool Wirral Partnership are preparing their locally determined contributions and action.
- To limit the impact of a changing climate locally we need to take a long-term view and make changes now, before we are hit with even greater extremes.
- To make progress together we must see a complete shift to fossil fuel free local travel by around 2030 and a complete switch to clean ‘zero carbon’ energy sources by around 2041.
Cool 2 establishes a mechanism to drive local progress. It calls on people and organisations with an interest in Wirral to identify their contributions now. If you don’t already have a plan of action, it’s time to create one.
