Mini Climate Assembly

Nottingham Extinction Rebellion Alliances Team is inviting you and other environmental, climate justice and social justice organisations to join us for a mini Climate Assembly, run by the Nottingham Climate Assembly. At the Climate Assembly we will get our heads and hearts together to:

  • Come up with plans to tackle the city’s environmental challenges and to minimise their environmental impact.

  • Present our perspective on plans for carbon neutral Nottingham 2028 (CN28)

We’ll decide together how to make the most of our proposals at this crucial time, in the run up to a regional mayoral election and the run up to a general election.

We’ll also give the Climate Assembly team a chance to hone their skills before the city-wide, public Climate Assembly planned for later in 2024.

We really hope that you will be happy to join us on Saturday April 20th at the Sumac Centre, 245 Gladstone Street, Forest Fields, Nottingham NG7 6HX, 11-4 pm (including lunch).

We would like your group or organisation to send 1-2 delegates to the Assembly. Please could you let us know by March 1st 2024 whether you will be accepting this invitation and which people will be coming on behalf of your group or organisation (as well as their email addresses).

If you have any questions at this stage, please don’t hesitate to ask.
