The Council and Public Service Board welcome the views of local people and their ideas for dealing with the climate crisis.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cClimate change is a global issue and it\u2019s absolutely vital that we act now to protect our environment for the well-being of future generations and the recommendations from the Assembly are vital for us as the Welsh public sector when we develop our long term plans to shape our approach to tackling the challenges ahead.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re already taking a number of actions as part of our Decarbonisation plan to reduce our carbon impact. The 5 recommendations from the Climate Assembly will help us to prioritise our work in a number of key areas and these will make a significant contribution towards our carbon neutral aim.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Jess Blair, Director, ERS Cymru said:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Blaenau Gwent Climate Assembly shows what happens when you do politics differently \u2013 brining a community together and providing them with the space to deliberate on important issues in their local area. . This was Wales\u2019 first climate assembly but we hope it will not be the last.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCitizen participation is vital in local decision making, it brings legitimacy, builds trust and shows that, when given the support, ordinary people can help shape their communities and come up with valuable solutions to important issues.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow the assembly is has spoken we look forward to seeing how Blaenau Gwent responds to their recommendations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Matt, Participant, Blaenau Gwent Climate Assembly said:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI found the climate assembly a really rewarding experience. I was able to connect with many different types of people from all walks of life within Blaenau Gwent to talk about a common goal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome of the evidence that we talked about certainly shocked me, but it was comforting to know that the solutions are really within our own hands and I&#8217;m really looking forward to having our recommendations evaluated, and hopeful some will be taken forward to make a real difference within Blaenau Gwent so that we can really start to see some positive change.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Sunita, Participant, Blaenau Gwent Climate Assembly said:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Before taking part in the climate assembly, I was aware of the causes and the effects of climate change and have always been passionate about doing everything that I can to make a difference on an individual level.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I have learnt so much from my experience as an Assembly Member; from recognising that there is a lack of awareness about climate change on a local and national level, to understanding the level of interest and passion from the people of Blaenau Gwent to make things better.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Collectively we demand change from our council and our government. We urge the council and the governing bodies to listen to our recommendations that we as an assembly decided on and act upon them.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We will not stop here. We will continue to learn. We will persist to make sure that our voices are heard. We will strive to make a positive difference in our own lives and in the communities around us.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2700\" src=\"https:\/\/www.unitedwelsh.com\/cy\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/12\/BG-Climate-Assembly-logo-300x300.png\" alt=\"Blaenau Gwent Climate Assembly logo\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.unitedwelsh.com\/cy\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/12\/BG-Climate-Assembly-logo-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.unitedwelsh.com\/cy\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/12\/BG-Climate-Assembly-logo-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.unitedwelsh.com\/cy\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/12\/BG-Climate-Assembly-logo-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.unitedwelsh.com\/cy\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/12\/BG-Climate-Assembly-logo-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/www.unitedwelsh.com\/cy\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/12\/BG-Climate-Assembly-logo-1536x1536.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.unitedwelsh.com\/cy\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/12\/BG-Climate-Assembly-logo-2048x2048.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The assembly was the first deliberative democratic event of its kind in Wales,\u00a0 and brought 50 Blaenau Gwent residents together with expert speakers to develop proposals to address the climate crisis in their area.<\/p>\n<p>The participants have been selected to be demographically representative of the wider Blaenau Gwent community representing the views and backgrounds of the borough\u2019s residents.<\/p>\n<p>Participants spent four weeks hearing from over 20 expert speakers on a range of issues including housing, fuel poverty, transport, nature and green space, jobs and skills before considering the evidence, make and vote on recommendations.<\/p>\n<p>The assembly received funding from Welsh Government through a consortium managed by energy service provider Sero, where 68 partners in Wales were awarded more than \u00a37m to decarbonise 1,370 homes and create tools to roll out large scale decarbonisation of homes across Wales as part of the \u2018Optimised Retrofit\u2019 programme.<\/p>\n<p>The recommendations from the Assembly will be shared with all consortium partners and Blaenau Gwent County Borough Council to help inform effective citizen engagement for climate change in future, and sent to the Blaenau Gwent Public Service Board\u2019s Climate Mitigation Steering Group, who have made a commitment to respond to the recommendations.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Wales\u2019 first-ever Climate Assembly concluded last weekend and published its recommendations for a citizen-led response to climate change in South Wales.
