Stratford-on-Avon District Council and Warwick District Council are pleased to announce the launch of a new website for the South Warwickshire Local Climate Engagement Programme, a joint initiative designed to support residents, community groups and organisations to take practical action on climate change.

The new website will act as a central hub for information, resources and support, helping local communities better understand climate change and identify ways to reduce carbon emissions, build resilience and protect the local environment. It brings together guidance on topics such as energy efficiency, sustainable travel, waste reduction, biodiversity, and funding opportunities for community-led projects.

The Local Climate Engagement Programme is a collaborative programme between Stratford-on-Avon District Council and Warwick District Council, reflecting a shared commitment to tackle the climate emergency through partnership working and local engagement.

Councillor Susan Juned, Leader of Stratford-on-Avon District Council, said:
"This new website makes it easier for residents and community groups to access trusted information and practical support to help them play their part in addressing climate change. Working in partnership allows us to reach more people and have a greater impact across our districts."

Councillor Hema Yellapragada, Portfolio Holder for Decarbonisation at Warwick District Council, said: "Our community groups and parish and town councils have the drive and determination to play their part in decarbonising South Warwickshire, and this website provides them with the practical, useful tools they need to do so. I look forward to seeing the content expand and grow as we work together on this important issue."

The website also highlights local case studies, events and opportunities to get involved, showcasing positive action already taking place across Stratford-on-Avon and Warwick districts.

Residents and organisations are encouraged to visit the website to explore the resources available and learn how they can get involved in the Local Climate Engagement Programme: Home - Local Climate Engagement Programme
