Kendal’s Climate Change Citizens Jury has spoken

After weeks of listening to Climate Change experts and debating the information shared about energy, transport, food and political leadership; members of the Kendal Climate Change Citizens Jury have agreed 27 recommendations to answer the question ‘What Should Kendal do about Climate Change?’.

Supported by facilitators Shared Future and co-ordinated by Kendal Town Council, the Jury have focused on key areas that if achieved would see Kendal as a ‘shining light’ of positive climate action. All the expert presentations are available here which demonstrate how Jury members arrived at their conclusions.

Jury members have featured in a short film which is currently ‘on tour’ via a series of private screening events with the organisations and tiers of local government who are best placed to take action and turn the Jury’s recommendations into reality.

The Jury members reflected Kendal’s community and the recommendations cover aspects of daily life where changes would benefit both the environment and the health and wellbeing of residents.

The next step for Kendal’s Citizens Jury is a Recommendations Panel where organisations will be invited twice a year to share progress and best practice and develop partnership approaches to climate challenges. The Recommendations Panel will be chaired by Kendal Town Council who will share progress reports whilst developing their own action plan to implement the recommendations.
