Events
We run events via Zoom in association with Clifton Climate Action. Below is a list of all our confirmed events for the rest of this year.
We also have a page for video recordings of past Zoom talks, including Nikki Jones talking about what we can all do to ensure Bristol has a green recovery, decarbonising our food and alternatives to owning a fossil-fuel car.
If you enjoy our talks or learn something useful from them you can make a donation to both CCA and BCR via paypal.me/cliftonclimateaction. Any donations will be gratefully received and be divided evenly between the two groups.

Improving Your Home Energy Efficiency The number one use of fuel in our homes is heating: both to keep us warm and for hot water for washing. The second biggest is electricity consumption. How can we make our homes more energy efficient? What are the latest developments with solar panels and air-source heat pumps? What options are available for renters?
|
|
Kate Watson of the Centre for Sustainable Energy and Simon Duffen, renewable energy consultant at Solarense, will be answering all of these questions and sharing lots of practical tips for keeping your home warm, just in time for winter. There'll also be lots of time for questions and answers, and for you to share your knowledge and experience.

Bristol's Road Building Plans - Do We Need Them? Does the West of England need more road building ? How does this relate to the 2030 carbon neutrality goals all our councils have adopted? Is there a budget for scaling up public transport and if so, is it sufficient for our decarbonisation challenge?
|
|
Dr Steve Melia, Senior Lecturer in Transport and Planning at the University of the West of England, is leading the campaign to stop the proposed new road building and get public transport prioritised. Having addressed the UK Climate Assembly on this subject earlier this year, Steve will discuss many of the issues of the Joint Local Transport Plan for the West of England, give you the facts about the proposals and answer your questions.
