The South & East Lincolnshire Climate Action Network is celebrating its first year of partnership working to tackle climate change across the sub-region.
Called SELCAN, the group has brought together more than 30 private, public and third sector organisations to work collaboratively on reducing carbon emissions across the sub-region to build a more sustainable future for our communities.
Formed in July 2022, SELCAN is a forum for sharing ideas, best practice and collaboration across South Holland, Boston and East Lindsey with the aim of delivering projects that lead to carbon reduction, as well as mitigating and adapting to the impacts of climate change. The organisation encourages communities to be part of the solution to the social, economic and environmental challenges facing our sub-region as a result of climate change.
Cllr Graham Marsh chairs the organisation. He said: “SELCAN has had a fantastic first year and it has been really positive to bring together like-minded and dedicated individuals and organisations, who are all committed in addressing the challenges posed by climate change, so communities can live more sustainably. There are some fantastic projects being developed which will bring about change and promote awareness of some of the things which businesses and individuals can easily do to live and work more greener and in a more environmentally-friendly way.
“There’s some great work being done across the sub-region and more exciting plans for the coming 12 months. Our vision is to achieve net zero emissions in advance of the Government’s 2050 target and make the sub-region more resilient to the impacts of climate change. We are committed to building a more sustainable future for our residents and communities.”
