Climate change is a TU issue: we need to transform recession and unemployment into a new economy of green jobs.

PORTSMOUTH
Portsmouth Climate Action Network (PCAN)
www.portsmouthcan.co.uk
Contact: infoportsmouthcan.co.uk
Established in November 2006, PCAN is a local voluntary group concerned about the significant dangers posed by man-made climate change. Our primary aim is to ensure that the issue is tackled at a local level i.e. in Portsmouth, through education, mitigation and adaptation. We also believe that attitude and behaviour change at a local level can have a material influence on what happens nationally and globally. We are one of a growing number of local climate change groups and are part of the Stop Climate Chaos alliance.
PCAN is campaigning for:
Portsmouth (that's everyone!) to achieve an annual carbon emission reduction target of at least 3% per annum
The creation and ongoing measurement of a carbon footprint for Portsmouth
Portsmouth City Council establishing a strong and visible climate change strategy (including planning policy) in line with many other cities in the UK
Portsmouth City Council leading a publicity campaign on both carbon reduction and climate change adaptation in the City.
