WM-Air are working in Partnership with Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council and local citizens on a LGA-funded Net-Zero Innovation Programme project to develop a ‘Leaving No-one Behind’ Climate Champion toolkit, building upon the successful model of Sandwell’s award winning COVID Champions programme. A cohort of ~120 Community Climate Champions will be created, consisting of community member from schools, faith centres, NHS staff, Council staff, Councillors and other members of the public. The Champion group will receive a bespoke training programme, comprising of a workshop series focusing on communicating different aspects of climate change behaviours, and material with key goals and actions for the wider public to take with a timeline. Academic evaluation led by WM-Air will use qualitative and quantitation data obtained before and after the training programme in order to measure changes in attitude towards climate change, lessons learned and behavioural shifts.
