Dulwich and West Norwood Climate Coalition is a broad group of local residents and community organisations concerned about our climate. The UK has a responsibility to lead the world in securing the strongest possible agreement at COP 26 to tackle climate change, empowering us in the UK to make the right choices for our planet?s future and setting an example that the world might follow to avoid the worst impacts of catastrophic climate change and biodiversity collapse and put us on a better path.


Please sign our letter to the Prime Minister which will be delivered in person by local MP Helen Hayes and a representative group of local residents.

Nice one, although perhaps refer to him just as the PM rather than his given or full name. Well worded and hope that others on this site will sign. Copied below for info


INTERNATIONAL


1. Honouring the Paris Agreement Goals to limit warming to 1.5 degrees C through increased commitments and with immediately actionable policies.


2. Securing a renewed agreement to honour previous commitments to provide poorer countries with ?100 Billion every year from 2020, backdating the funding which has not been paid to date.


3. Acting on the latest IPCC report and immediately withdrawing the funding for all new fossil fuel based infrastructure in the UK and around the world.


4. Working with the international community to halt and rapidly reverse the decline of biodiversity and nature around the world to maintain and enhance our land and ocean carbon sinks immediately.


NATIONAL


5. Adopting the UN 17 Sustainable Development Goals for a fairer society by 2023 and ensuring that the formal measurement of the UK?s economic health takes into account impact on the climate and on wellbeing alongside GDP.


6. Establishing an urgent, detailed action plan to ensure that the UK meets the 4th, 5th and 6th carbon budgets.


7. Commit to fund low cost, low carbon transport across all areas of the UK.


8. Urgently establish an effective, long term funding programme for whole house retrofitting allowing it to be taken up at scale across the country, by councils, housing associations and individuals immediately.


9. Ensure that all young people receive a robust climate education and leave school equipped for zero carbon jobs and lifestyles.


10. Support all schools to retrofit their buildings and ensure that all new school buildings are zero carbon from 2022.

Would it be possible to know who is behind the group before I support it (or not)? When you click in the link to the campaign Facebook group it shows 7 supporters and says that only private members can see who is in the group? I?m always a bit cautious about group petitions when I don?t know who is organising them in case there?s a bunch of stuff over and above what?s on the face of it. Just because it?s sometimes held out to be support for the group as a whole rather than exact wording of the petition - have been burned in the past.

Hi P3girl


Not sure what's an odd ball share scheme about a community share raise which enables communities to own and manage renewable energy assets with surplus profit being directed to community benefit such as alleviation of fuel poverty. It's a well tried and tested method of raising finance to fund community owned energy projects. Around ?30million has been raised by communities about and down the UK to fund the installation of 320MW renewable energy. Here's our website. We are a transparent member led Community Benefit Society with the vast majority of our members coming from the SE24 area. You can see our board of directors on our website. If people want to take tangible action on climate change (as I know many on this Forum are) community energy is a great way of achieving this!


Legal Alian - D&WNCC are simply a group of locally concerned people, many of whom are connected to SE24 Community Energy. They recently held their annual conference in partnership with Lambeth Friends of the Earth where Helen Hayes and the Leader of Lambeth Council spoke. No hidden agendas at all I promise other than wanting to galvanise action of climate change!

Really surprised that Legal and P3 didn't just do a Google search, plenty out there to show that they are legit, not a bunch of cranks, not scammers, and certainly not directly associated with the LTNs.


The Community Energy Scheme is interested and their are others doing similar across the country. I welcome those actually making a difference!

What have the LTNs got to do with it?


I was more interested to understand whether there was an underlying political affiliation, or whether particular climate lobby groups were involved, I did google but it wasn?t 100% clear, there were Labour reps at some of the events they had organised and I wasn?t sure that was because they were present as office holders (eg local MP) or whether there was more of a political angle, you can?t tell from the Facebook page (I did google before posting). I guess my real question is ?which groups are in coalition? to form the coalition if that makes sense.

Apologies but just to clarify SE24 is definitely not a registered company but a community benefit society, which is a Industrial and Providence Society. Similar to a cooperative but CBSs exist for the benefit of the local community rather than its members (which is what a coop is). They are registered with the Financial Conduct Authority not Companies House. We are in no way a commercial enterprise but simply trying to take local action on climate change. Nothing else. SE24 has no underlying political affiliation and we are governed by a set of Rules as per FCA requirements.
No. She is a member and has been since our first project but is not on the board or a director. Genuinely SE24 has no other agenda other than wanting to develop community owned energy assets which has additional community benefit.

She's in your Who's who though mate. https://se24.co.uk/whos-who-at-se24/#


It looks overtly political to just have labour MPs and councillors involved.


By the way I think your website has some malware or something wrong with it.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
