Some good news coming from Climate Outreach and the UK government. We're looking forward to seeing the Public Participation Strategy in the new year! From the report:(https://lnkd.in/efiVdEc5) One of the priority recommendations for the UK government is to improve public engagement on low carbon choices by communicating the most impactful ways to reduce emissions, such as: 📍changing car travel 📍home energy use 📍dietary behaviours 📍reducing air travel 📍supporting people to make these choices including through regulation and incentives Recommendation response for public engagement: "We will set out government’s approach to engaging the public in a Public Participation Strategy to be published in 2025. This will include how we will support people to adopt new technologies, as well as opportunities to ensure that public views are considered in the development of policy. We will give particular consideration to involving local communities and engaging more vulnerable groups, as well as empowering other organisations to do the same.  Ensuring the voice of disabled people is properly heard is a priority for this government. We aspire to engage closely with disabled people and disabled people’s organisations to understand their lived experiences."
