Climate Change Strategy: Thinking Globally, Acting Locally (Woking, United Kingdom)

Woking Borough Council's Climate Change Strategy has provided a politically and corporately supported foundation for action to address climate change locally. This case study aims to show the impact that the strategy is having across Woking's community, and includes a wide range of action examples, with projects selected because they: - Demonstrate where the Council has worked hard to raise awareness of climate change through community engagement and delivered results through this engagement - Demonstrate the importance of adapting to the inevitable impacts of climate change in the local area - Have required a high degree of innovative partnership working and have built capacity across the Borough's community to tackle climate change - Illustrate leadership by example, with the Council taking action to reduce emissions across its own estate and engaging its staff in this agenda and - Recognise the need to engage the community in taking the Climate Change Strategy forward and to meet emissions reductions targets
