What’s it all about?

The Worcestershire Climate Change Pledge enables local organisations to demonstrate their commitment to tackling climate change. Organisations can choose to sign up to as many actions as they wish. Actions are given 1, 2 or 3 stars, according to their level of ease of implementation. They cover topics such as reducing energy use, staff travel planning, minimising waste, raising awareness and assessing the impacts of climate change. Each year, organisations that have signed up to the pledge report on their progress.

Who’s involved?

The pledge was developed by the Worcestershire Climate Change Group, part of the Worcestershire Partnership. So far, 19 organisations have signed up to the pledge, including the Learning & Skills Council, Chamber of Commerce, Worcester Diocesan Office, Job Centre Plus, Worcester University, Worcestershire Wildlife Trust and several district councils and private businesses.
