Who are we?

In August 2021, Aylsham Town Council declared a climate emergency looking towards achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2030. The council formed a group – ACE (Aylsham Climate Emergency) and this community-led membership set up five sub-groups, each working towards a strategy to achieve this.

It’s not just about reducing carbon emissions on a local scale, but also raising awareness of global climate change.

Each sub-group will target the main areas which contribute to the crisis. If you would like to get involved, or if you have a project for consideration, please…

The strategy guidelines:

We aim to:

  • Identify main sources of emissions

  • Recognise which sources will be reduced by outside factors eg. Government action or technological developments.

  • Identify the most impactful changes that Aylsham residents and organisations can make.

  • Create a 10 year plan of action.

  • Run pilots for each measure using enthusiastic volunteers from social networks (real and virtual) across Aylsham.

  • Monitor and improve measures based on feedback from pilots.
