Climate Change Joint Climate Action Board
The Climate Change Joint Action Board unites organisations in Bracknell Forest. They work together on climate action and monitor progress towards Net Zero targets. The work of the board is crucial to our strategic approach to climate change. It will play a central role in developing our Community Climate Emergency Strategy.
The board is chaired by Leader the council, Cllr Mary Temperton and is supported by several working groups from different sectors. Our climate change commitments and cooperation page has more information and explains how you can get involved.
