Big news: The UK Government has published its first #PublicParticipationPlan on climate change & nature 📣

We welcome this as an important first step to involve, inspire & empower Brits to tackle climate change & protect nature.

Read the plan: www.gov.uk/government/p...

Key thoughts thread 🧵
A graphic featuring a quote from CAST Director, Prof Lorraine Whitmarsh MBE, on the UK’s first public participation plan on climate change. On the left, there is a circular photo of Lorraine holding an open book against a window. Below the photo is the logo for the Centre for Climate Change and Social Transformations (CAST), which includes a circular design and the text “Centre for Climate Change and Social Transformations.” On the right, the quote reads: "The publication of the UK’s first public participation plan on climate change is a landmark moment that recognises people-power can accelerate fair and effective climate action that brings wider benefits to society. CAST has played a key role in the plan’s development and will support its delivery.”
