14. Climate change communications and engagement
Engaging and communicating with our residents that live and work in East Suffolk is an important part of
enabling and empowering others to take positive action on climate change.
Our communications team have a programme of regular activities related to energy, waste and the
environment. These use a range of channels, from social media, events, press communications and
publications such as the East Suffolk magazine.
We also have a wide range of resources on our climate mini-site here
Teams across our service areas also engage with communities across East Suffolk to connect them with
local support, services and funding to help respond to climate change. These include:
Coastal Partnership East working directly with communities at risk of flooding & coastal erosion.
The Warmer Homes team connecting residents with property energy retrofit grants and support.
We published our Environmental Guidance Note to offer clear, concise information on a range of key
environmental issues relating to the building industry
Our Communities Team support local groups delivering climate change projects and restoring
nature.
Working as part of the Suffolk Climate Change Partnership on larger communication campaigns, such
as promoting the 'Solar Together' scheme to support homeowners to install their own solar panels.
Supporting the Greenprint Forum to cascade information throughout the network and showcase
good practice to inspire replication of what communities can deliver themselves.
