The Climate Response Programme

September 16, 2022

The severity and adverse impacts of climate change are becoming more prevalent, and the Climate Response Programme seeks to help organisations on the journey to taking action.

This is a unique and exciting opportunity to take part in the first free Climate Response Programme in Waikato, and Whaingaroa. Ten community climate advisors are undertaking training to deliver the pilot to up to 30 organisations.

The programme aims to prepare small organisations, charities, not for profit, Maori and iwi organisations and community groups on the climate change journey to reducing emissions. It includes onsite and online tailored, personal support to track emissions, create a sustainability framework/climate action plan with target setting. It also aims to improve performance, and shift to equity based practices, like honouring Te Tiriti and climate justice.

As the Government enacts the Climate Change Commission’s recommendations, delivers on Zero Carbon Act and the Emissions Reduction Plan, it is likely that further businesses will be required to act. This programme will assist organisations on the journey. Its point of difference is the sharing of resources, stories, workshops, community advisors and tailored onsite support.

The pilot is being run by ECOES, Go Eco and Para Kore and is supported by Waikato Regional Council, Hamilton City Council, Waikato District Council and Trust Waikato.
