We are award winners in Liverpool

CAG have helped Liverpool City Council win at the CLASP Climate Leader Awards! The Awards are for local authorities on the front line of delivering exemplary projects to mitigate climate change, make carbon and financial savings and help adapt to a changing climate. They aim to share best practice and inspire others to do the same.

Liverpool won the Increasing Local Resilience Category at the award event on November 2nd 2010 for their adaptation planning work which has helped them to be one of the 7% of local authorities to reach level 3 of previous national indicator 188.

The judges were impressed by Liverpool’s work as one of the few authorities that are identifying adaptation as a key priority area and are establishing a comprehensive assessment process to both understand future risk and identify timely options for a response. The judges also noted the impetus and high level support that was given to this work through the dedication of 2009 as the Year of The Environment.

"Liverpool City Council and Liverpool First partners have enjoyed working in partnership with CAG to develop this piece of work. The process we have been through has been comprehensive and effective and has generated a high level of interest and positive feedback from other public sector bodies."

Christine Darbyshire, Team Leader - Urban Environment Regeneration

CAG have been working with Liverpool City Council and Liverpool First since 2008 and we are just completing the third phase of a project to help Liverpool to assess and address potential risks and opportunities from climate change. We have helped council officers and partners to prepare detailed risk assessments and action plans across all Council business units.
