Are you a Climate Change Champion?

In March 2019 Portsmouth City Council declared a Climate Emergency, committing to making our city carbon neutral by 2030.  To help oversee this ambitious goal they have set up the Portsmouth Climate Action Board, you can find out more on their website.

This goal aligns with the Church of England’s target to be Carbon Neutral by 2030 as well as work taking place within our own Deanery and in the Cathedral on tackling climate change.

Within the Portsmouth Deanery a New Christian Climate Action Group for Portsmouth is being formed. There will be informal Zoom meetings on 27 July at both 11am and 7:30pm.  Part of the meeting will explore what we can contribute to the forthcoming Portsmouth Climate Festival scheduled for October.  If you would like to attend please email info@portsmouthcathedral.org.uk

As part of our new Vision and Strategy, the Cathedral has committed to becoming a Silver Eco Church within the next 12 months before moving on to work to achieve Gold status and then Carbon Neutral by 2030.  To do this we need your help. We’re looking for a volunteer Climate Change Champion to help lead our efforts to become a Carbon Neutral Cathedral by 2030, if not before!

If you’re interested in working with us on new and innovative Climate Change projects please email info@portsmouthcathedral.org.uk to register your interest for further information.
