Collaborative Climate Change Events
We hosted a series of four in-person collaborative climate change events across the county. These events were opened by Councillor Glen Sanderson, Northumberland County Council Leader andCabinet Member for Climate change. They all mirrored a similar event run for Members around threekey topics that link to the climate change challenge and solutions facing Northumberland and overlapwith other key Council priorities.

The following events were held:

  • November 2022: Blyth (Southeast)
  • January 2023: Hexham (West)
  • March 2023: Alnwick (Central)
  • May 2023: Berwick (North)

The main objective of these in-person collaborative events was to gather the perspectives ofresidents/business owners/communities within Northumberland regarding how to reach our net zerotargets as a county and the complexities and priorities encountered by our residents.

Please see the report from these here.
