Building Bridges for Community Climate Action in Torfaen

Climate Action Torfaen

We are a group of Torfaen residents with different skills and experiences brought together by our commitment to deliver positive change in the face of the climate emergency.

Our purpose is to support a journey towards a net zero and nature friendly Torfaen, bringing together citizens, businesses and Torfaen council. 

We believe in local solutions to local challenges and that residents are best placed to help inform strategies to respond to the climate and nature emergency on our doorstep.

If you have been on the internet or read much of the mainstream media recently you’d be forgiven for thinking that the British public have turned their back on Net Zero. However, a recent (non-partisan) YouGov poll shows that a clear majority of people, 60%, do support the move to Net Zero by 2050, with only 25% against it.How far does the public support net zero? - yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/53366-how-far-does-the-public-support-net-zeroWhat there is less consensus on is how we achieve Net Zero, with people understandably concerned about the impact environmental policies could have on their household bills. Yet, even amongst those who worry that Net Zero policies will see them worse off, 41% still support it.We need our politicians to be honest with us about the threats of climate change and the impacts we will feel in our communities. In order to do that they will need to rely on experts in fields of climate science, weather, food and farming to provide them with the latest data and models for how we can mitigate and adapt to avoid the worst of the impacts.The people and communities of Torfaen need an MP who understands the impacts the climate and nature emergency is having on our people and our natural environment, and who can work with us to build local solutions. We are, therefore, calling on our MP Nick Thomas-Symonds to attend the National Emergency briefing on the Climate and Nature Crisis on the 27th November where leading experts will deliver a briefing on the threats presented by the climate and nature crisis and the science-based pathway forwards.National Emergency Briefing on climate & nature - www.nebriefing.org/ Nick Thomas-Symonds MP will you attend this short briefing so that you can better represent us as we all try to live through this deepening climate crisis? ...
