Bristol Mayor Marvin Rees has praised a community-led climate action programme that aims to improve the quality of life for people around Bristol.
The programme, pioneered by Bristol Green Capital Partnership, has received a major boost through a £2.48 million grant from the National Lottery’s Climate Action Fund. This investment will help enable the city's diverse communities to action their climate strategies and work towards the city's 2030 carbon neutral target.
In a statement, the Labour mayor said: “In setting our ambition to make Bristol a carbon neutral and climate resilient city by 2030, we have been clear that environmental and social justice must be delivered hand in hand. That means empowering our diverse communities to take a leading role in Bristol’s response to the climate emergency.
