By Councillor Burgess - Engaging Citizens on the Climate Emergency

“Council;

Recognises the importance of engaging individual residents with the City’s ambition to achieve a 2030 net-zero carbon target in response to the Climate Emergency;

Notes that other local authorities are establishing Citizens’ groups such as Juries and Assemblies to consult with them about tackling the Climate Emergency for example the ‘Oxford Citizen’s Assembly on Climate Change’;

Therefore agrees to call for a report on how residents can be involved in achieving the City’s 2030 net-zero carbon target, including establishing an Edinburgh Citizen’s Assembly on the Climate Emergency.”
