Eco Colchester – Community Climate Action Plan

This document is a Community Action Plan for the environment for Colchester and the surrounding area. It was developed based on the suggestions gathered from the Eco Colchester forums, the Peoples Assembly and the Friends of the Earth report for Colchester. It is a working document and so will be regularly updated to reflect the actions that have been taken and updates from this ever evolving sector. ​

Also see how Colchester Borough Council is already taking action on the climate emergency.

With special thanks to the following parties for their contribution to the Eco Colchester forums. .
