We have received the following invitation from the Leader of Barnet Council – anyone who is interested may attend – see the link within the text below to book a place
————————————————————————————————————–
I am writing to invite you to work together with us in making Barnet one of London’s most sustainable boroughs and to become a net zero borough by 2042. We would like to invite you to join us on Wednesday 17th January, 6:30-9pm at Middlesex University, to kick start our new partnership with residents and communities to drive positive action to tackle climate change in Barnet. We very much hope that you, and others from your community or organisation can join us in working together to make Barnet more sustainable.
Register your attendance and find out more via this Eventbrite link.
Barnet is full of creative, passionate people and organisations, who are already doing so much to build a thriving and sustainable future for our borough. We want to work with and learn from you in bringing together residents, communities, and businesses from across Barnet in action teams to ensure that our journey to net zero follows a path set by those that live, work or study in the borough, and not by the Council alone.
The event will include community organising training, networking, and support from Barnet Council, Citizens’ UK and TPXimpact to develop and discuss action in your local area/community that is making change happen. Join us on Wednesday 17th January at 6pm to get involved.
Tackling the challenge of climate change will be the most important thing our generation does, ensuring that we pass on a liveable planet to our children.
Barnet Council has declared a Climate and Biodiversity Emergency, setting an ambitious target of making Barnet a net zero borough – putting no more carbon into the atmosphere than we take out – by 2042.
Earlier this year, our Citizens’ and Youth Assemblies on Climate Change and Biodiversity saw 60 residents aged 12-90 years old, come together and identify the key actions we need to take as a borough to make Barnet sustainable.
Barnet Council accepts all these recommendations and has already started work in a number of areas – you can read more about that work here. But the Council cannot tackle climate change alone. It will take all of us, the Council, residents, communities, and businesses bringing our ideas and energy to meet the challenge.
We need your help to ensure that the commitments we have made lead to meaningful action. Join us on Wednesday 17th January 2024 to help shape the future of our borough.
Register and find out more here.
Please do share to members of your network who would be interested, there is a flyer for the event attached. For any further questions, contact BarNETZero@barnet.gov.uk.
We look forward to seeing you in the new year!
Best wishes,
Cllr Barry Rawlings
Leader of Barnet Council
