Let's get Dorset's voice heard at COP26
After the extraordinary events of September, including Great Big Green Week offerings across the county, the Planet Purbeck Festival and Open Greener Homes, it may be hard to imagine doing more.  But there IS more ... COP26 is happening very soon!

COP26 is a critical moment in our history and our future. So what is Dorset saying? How can OUR voice be heard? How can all of us in Dorset contribute and be heard?

Please come to our online meeting on Wednesday 13th October, 19:30-21:00 (7.30-9pm).  Topic: Climate Reality/COP26 ~ Zoom Link (no registration necessary)

Please put the date/link in your calendar/diary now.

You will hear from:

1. Local Dorset organisations who already have plans for COP 26
2. Ellie Wills and Elena Cantarello - members of the Climate Reality Leadership Corps and both currently working at Bournemouth University. Eleanor works in the University's Sustainability Team, engaging with staff and students to help them feel more able and empowered to take action, as well as taking local action. Elena is Principal Academic in Sustainability Science, teaching Carbon Management, Globalisation and Sustainable Development. She has been the Programme Leader of the MSc Green Economy for some years.
3. Neil Morisetti - Professor of Climate and Resource Security at UCL.  Between 2009 and 2013 he acted as the UK Government Climate and Energy Security Envoy, and then the Foreign Secretary’s Special Representative for Climate Change.

Then it's your chance to share views and decide between us which actions to prioritise and amplify now. We cannot all do everything – but we are stronger together! Working smarter not harder!

Please pass this on and encourage people to come!  And please reply now (dorsetcan@gmail.com) if you have thoughts/ideas/actions that you want to share before the meeting.
