Climate Change and Decarbonisation

Climate Change and Decarbonisation

Why are we doing this?: 

 

In Wales we have ambitious plans for the public sector to be carbon neutral by 2030 and in response to our declaration of a Climate and Ecological Crisis in 2019, we have developed a plan for the decarbonisation of council services. As part of our plan, we want to work with people who live and work in Wrexham to increase awareness and understanding of the changes we all have to make and to support people with those changes, in especially in light of the current energy and cost of living crisis.

What do we want to know?: 

To better understand what people know about climate change as well as what they already do and to help us to target our support during these difficult times, we would appreciate your responses to the following questions. Everyone that takes part will be entered into a draw for one of these energy saving and carbon reducing prizes: Portable Solar Charger, Bike voucher, Slow Cookers, Air Fryers, Mobile phone solar chargers, Annual Pass to Xplore!,

What difference has it made?: 

Towards the end of 2022 we developed an online survey to find out some key information from people that live and work in Wrexham around climate change and decarbonisation. The survey attracted a response from 581 people and the results will support us in our decarbonisation planning and communication going forward. The result of the survey are contained in this report and we have used this data to form some initial conclusions and identify some trends.

We also asked people to provide us with the email contact if they were willing to engage further to support our climate change and decarbonisation planning and activity in the future.  In response to this request we received 322 positive responses.
