All organisation was undertaken by volunteers. All speakers, session leaders and coordinators on the day were volunteers. Sponsorship and ticket sales covered the costs of room hire, technical support etc.
The organising team are representatives of three local organisations.
Dorset CAN (Climate Action Network) is a network of community groups and individuals across Dorset working together for a shared vision of a clean, green, sustainable Dorset. It supports families, businesses and individuals across the county to work towards the common goal of a carbon-neutral and an environmentally diverse Dorset.
Our major projects include: “the Great Dorset Hedge” project to map, plant, and join up sections of hedgerow across Dorset to promote biodiversity and help wildlife; The Dorset Deserves Better Campaign to persuade Dorset Council to rethink the Local plan by targeting affordable, social and low-cost rental housing and aligning all new dwellings with targets for emissions and sustainability; and the annual Dorset Greener homes Event in Sep/Oct to showcase ways of living and building with a lower carbon footprint.
Since 2004 Sustainable Dorset (previously Agenda 21), has been connecting communities and nurturing resilience across the County. Through our website we connect people to sustainable businesses, organisations, events and activities.
Our Green Living Guide, available free online, provides advice on sustainable living and saving money with a strong focus on community engagement. Our re-vamped website will include information on retrofitting and regenerative fashion.
Zero Carbon Dorset is a research and collaboration project that set out to identify the current level of emissions across the county of Dorset, develop a vision of what a zero carbon county could look like (balancing environmental, ecological and social justice), consider the changes required to achieve this scenario by 2030 and track progress towards this goal.
The results were published as Dorset 2030 in early 2022 and are being followed up with Annual Progress Reports; each calling for the community to be placed at the heart of decision making and for action to be supported from the ground up. It cannot, and does not seek to, provide all the answers but, by setting out a clear framework, seeks to engage the wider community to ensure there is a comprehensive understanding of the scale of the problem as well as the options and opportunities to address each issue.
