Chesterfield Climate Emergency: A People's Assembly

How can Chesterfield create a more environmentally friendly future?
Hosted by Create Change Chesterfield, the RSA and Chesterfield Borough Council. (edit- Chesterfield Borough Council did not a co-host in the end. There were discussions with different representatives at different levels of the council, they responded well but were ultimately an observer.)
This People’s Assembly will bring together the people of Chesterfield to tackle the problem of how to make our town more environmentally friendly. We will look towards a future where our planet is healthy and our town plays its part in supporting this.
People’s Assemblies are a way for a group of people to discuss issues or make decisions collectively, where all voices are heard and valued equally and no one person or group are able to dominate the process. The day will be run by TalkShop, a team of experts in deliberative democracy.
Everyone who lives, works or cares for Chesterfield is invited to attend.
Chesterfield Borough Council and Toby Perkins MP have shown a commitment to this People’s Assembly. Follow-up sessions are scheduled when plans will be presented for discussion on how to progress.
We intend for this day to create real, lasting change in Chesterfield.
Childcare is available on the day. There will be a creche and creative art sessions for children primary school age and under. All young adults of high school age are welcome to join the main group.
Lunch will be provided on the day.
