Who are we working with?
Working together with expert organisations, businesses, and other stakeholders will maximise the opportunities to develop best practice, policies, projects, and initiatives for driving action on the ground.

Climate change Expert Consultative Forum
Residents and communities have a key role to play in reducing emissions from their own homes and through lifestyle choices, or as communities taking local action, and there are many successful examples of this.
Community engagement is key and the Expert Consultative Forum is made up of relevant professionals, academics and community representatives from a range of organisations across Hampshire who can advise on both the development and the delivery of actions within the plan.
