Local Government Association

Read the thoughts of stakeholders, think tanks and opinion formers on the future of local as we look forward and rebuild from the pandemic.

Giving something back to the community is extremely important to me, one of the most rewarding and satisfying things I have ever done.

I became a councillor through being an activist for youth services. It’s great to have a role championing local causes and using lateral thinking.

Councillors across the country have shared their experience being a councillor and the journey they took to get there.

Can we use data to baseline our current environmental position as well as utilising digital tools to ease this transition?

How are we supporting and working with all relevant private and civic actors in the area towards climate change mitigation and adaptation?

How can we identify those who are most at risk from the impacts of climate change, and what is being done to assist the most vulnerable, including those going through the health and social care systems?

Have we reviewed our investment strategy and procurement models to consider climate impacts? While also promoting climate education, diversifying the labour market and growing sectors that are sustainable?
