On 24th July, Portsmouth councillors, council staff, PCAN members, Friends of the Earth and concerned local residents all gathered at Portmouth City Council civic offices for a big Climate Change consultation event organised by PCAN and PCC together. Councillors from all three major political parties were present, including the councils leader. Over eight PCAN members were present for the consultation.
The event started with the PCC Climate Change Officer, Jasmine Fletcher outlining the consultation process and method. This was followed up by PCAN founding member, Alan Burgess giving a short presentation about Climate Change and explaining how Portsmouth may develop a low carbon strategy.
Workshops were then held to work out some solutions for Portsmouths future climate change related problems. The four different workshop groups came up with some radical and not so radical ideas ranging from Tidal energy to improving insulation in many of Portsmouths buildings. The results will be used as a part of the ongoing PCC consultation process.
The great thing about the evening was the diverse range of people that attended and the willingness for people to engage in dialogue to create solutions.
