The Canterbury Climate Action Partnership (CCAP) was formed in June 2019 as a partnership between the Canterbury Society and the Canterbury Sustainable Development Goals Forum. It has now grown to include representatives from other local civic society groups, our three universities, business, residents’ associations, faith groups, youth groups, Greenpeace and many others. See our current partners.
The partnership is an independent not-for-profit Community Interest Company working closely with our city and county councils, and councillors from various political parties attend our meetings. The Partnership sees its main role as bringing together all like-minded interest groups within the district to mobilise action towards a more sustainable future; especially to achieve a zero carbon district by 2030.
Join us at the Canterbury festival to find out more about the East Kent Downs Landscape Recovery Project.
Friday 25 October, 8pm
Augustine Hall
Tickets £14 (Incl. £1.50 booking fee)
Natural England’s 2023 State of Nature report told us we are one of the most nature-depleted countries in the world. Yet there is hope. The report identifies four ‘big on-the-ground changes that we can take to accelerate nature recovery.’ Reducing pollution on land is one of these.
For over 25 years, the East Kent Downs Landscape Recovery Project, a Natural England initiative, has been working with 100 farms across East Kent on habitat creation and nature recovery projects. So far, 992 hectares of wildflower grasslands have been created from arable land and 1,147 hectares of permanent grasslands restored and enhanced. These insect and seed-rich landscapes are maintaining more productive crops, improving soil health, water quality and carbon capture.
Canterbury Climate Action Partnership (ccap.org.uk) invites you to discover this agricultural (r)evolution on our doorstep, meet our farming entrepreneurs and learn skills to improve the biodiversity of our community green spaces.
Talks will last approximately one hour followed by a Q&A.
Book now at www.canterburyfestival.co.uk
Drop in and find CCAP and some of our partners at Whitefriars, Canterbury on Saturday 29th June.
From 12-4pm we will be talking about climate action in Canterbury, showcasing some of the work going on across the district and hearing from you about climate action taking place in your schools, workplaces and community groups.
Find out how to save money, enjoy some local fruit and let the kids take part in free arts and crafts activities. Why not have a go at our famous `How bad are bananas?` game and test your knowledge of the carbon footprints of everyday objects.
We look forward to seeing you there.
