I realise this sounds fatalistic and alarmist, but as Avaaz's latest campaign states, climate change is destroying the planet that sustains all of us. Right now the world is meeting in South Africa to decide on the future of our climate treaty. Big oil countries like the US don't want a deal, but EU, Brazil and China are all on the fence and have a chance to lead! All of them are facing their own financial pressures at home so they need to hear a massive call to action from their voters and the world's people to form a "Green Dream Team" to save Africa, and save our planet. We have only four days left.

The Low Carbon Communities Network (LCCN) 2012 annual conference will will be in Oxford on January 14th at the Kings Centre (with a 50Kw solar roof).We expect over 200 local community-based organisations to take part in this free event, bring in expertise and enthusiasm from across the UK. It will look at new ways forward for community action in a time of significant economic and social change. National speakers will include Jonathon Porritt. Local organisations from across the UK will also be well represented, along with speakers from local government, universities, and energy companies. Discussions will focus on two key areas:
• Community Energy – now and for the future

Discussions on these issues will cover:
• Community Energy – now and for the future plenary and workshop sessions on:
• Community Renewables: new developments and opportunities

National Low Carbon Communities Conference – help needed

 

In January 16^th / 17^th the Communities and Climate Action conference takes place in London (at Goodenough College, near Kings Cross). 120 people on the Sunday and over 200 people on the Monday
will meet to discuss and plan new approaches to low / zero carbon community action
(see the agenda at the PD site).  The
organising group need help! Would you like to be involved in making this unique
event a success?  We need:

 

·         People to help out each day, making the event a positive experience for people from all over the UK. This will involve helping run the
day, set up exhibitions, take notes in workshops and much more. If you’d like
to see how a large conference works and get involved, email us now (as below)

·         A few skilled facilitators, for which there is a small payment, to help run workshops. If you feel confident and have some
experience doing this, email now with details of your experience.

·         People to help other people! Could you offer a spare room for the Sunday night? We’d like to keep people’s costs down, so we
are hoping that low carbon activists in London will offer maybe 20 spaces.  If you can help with this, please email now.

 

There are still places available for the Monday event. For details see  http://lowcarboncommunities.net/communities-conference/. To book your free tickets: http://lccnconference.eventbrite.com/.

 

If you can offer help on any of the three points above please email Chris Church: chrischurch@cooptel.net
