Engaging with our communities
We regularly host events across the county to speak directly to our residents and businesses to see what climate change challenges they are facing and how we can overcome them.

Northumberland Town and Parish Council Climate Change Toolkit
Included in the toolkit are useful hints and tips on getting your town or parish onboard in making little - or even bigger - changes to help enhance and protect our beautiful county.
We asked all town and parish councils in Northumberland what support they required to develop their own climate change action plans. As a result of that process, we are pleased to be able to share the Northumberland Town and Parish Council Climate Change Toolkit.

Collaborative Climate Change Events
We hosted a series of four in-person collaborative climate change events across the county. These events were opened by Councillor Glen Sanderson, Northumberland County Council Leader. They all mirrored a similar event run for Members around three key topics that link to the climate change challenge and solutions facing Northumberland and overlap with other key Council priorities.
The following events were held:
- November 2022: Blyth (Southeast)
- January 2023: Hexham (West)
- March 2023: Alnwick (Central)
- May 2023: Berwick (North)
The main objective of these in-person collaborative events was to gather the perspectives of residents/business owners/communities within Northumberland regarding how to reach our net zero targets as a county and the complexities and priorities encountered by our residents.
Please see the report from these here.
