In the face of all the
climate and nature issues that confront us, it's often easy to wonder 'what can be done?'
at local level. Well, the answer is actually - quite a lot! Friends
of the Earth partnered with climate change charity Ashden to produce a
series of case
studies of programmes and projects that local councils
have undertaken and delivered on and they are a brilliantly uplifting
read. Locally, it's great to see Barnsley's
pioneering community energy scheme tackled fuel poverty
included and the great work undertaken by NE Derbyshire council on retrofit programmes for their social housing. You can also learn about:

- how
Hackney boosts access to green spaces for less wealthy residents,
- how
Leeds uses sustainable food to help schools combat the climate
crisis,
- how
Nottingham used a parking levy to cut congestion and raise
millions
- how
Hull co-designed flood defences with residents
and many, many more.
Peruse the 40+ reports using the link below. There's a searchable list
and each case study is briskly described, with links to follow
for more information.
