This guide complements Friends of the Earth’s template Local Climate Action Plan1. The guide identifies actions that parish and town councils can take on climate change and nature. Its purpose is to support those of the 10,000 local councils across England and 750 community councils in Wales who want to “do their bit” in addressing the climate and nature emergency.
The actions are grouped under three headings:
1. Be a force for good
2. Demonstrate leadership through your own practical actions
3. Use your powers wisely
