Amy & Chloe will talk about the Worthing & Adur Councils Climate Assembly which took place Sept - December 2020. The assembly culminated from Worthing & Adur Councils declaration of a climate emergency in July 2019, followed in March 2020 by their Zero 2030 conference organised with community groups and attended by about 300 local residents and representatives from local businesses, community and civic groups. This ground-breaking approach and event resulted in a GOLD Award at the CPRE Sussex Countryside Awards in 2020. Worthing & Adur Councils aim to achieve zero carbon energy use within the council estate by 2030 and within Adur and Worthing by 2050.

Amy & Chloe will share their personal experiences of the Climate Assembly, the selection process, timescales, which speakers most impacted them and why, what the councils learnt and the final recommendations.
