Ipswich Climate Forum

The Ipswich Climate Forum is a chance to hear from experts on climate change, renewables, and environmentally sustainable living to help inspire you to make changes at a local level to reduce your carbon and waste footprint. 

We know we need to do more about the climate and environment . We know that climate change and environmental damage is already impacting our lives. But sometimes the scale of the problem is too overwhelming to think about. We wonder if the actions we take as individuals can possibly make a difference.

The Ipswich Climate Forum will show how the changes we can make at a local and personal level can help make a difference, together with the actions taken by government, business, and industry.
