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, residentsβ 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.

π 2022 BUSINESS LEADER IN INNOVATION AWARD: @foundrybrewpub
The brewery, distillery, restaurant and bar takes numerous steps to reduce waste and carbon emissions; it donates all spent grain to a local farmer for cow feed, all packaging is fully recyclable and spirits are dispensed from glass Kilner barrels to stop bottle waste. The brewery naturally carbonates beer, saving on CO2 and the team recycles the energy created from brewing to heat the water for the next dayβs brew.
Are you a business making innovative steps to reduce your environmental impact? We want to hear about it!
Deadline for @ccap_2030 awards is 24th November!
