The search is on for Plymouth's first cohort of Climate Ambassadors.
Climate Ambassadors will act as voluntary advocates in their communities for positive action across all neighbourhoods of the city.
They will engage with communities, their neighbourhood, workplace, or interest group to raise awareness of climate change issues and encourage others to act.
Anyone can be a climate ambassador - there is no age limit and no experience is required. All that's needed is a passion and interest in reducing carbon emissions through action, sharing good practice, or through proposed 'grass roots' initiatives.
Councillor James Stoneman, Cabinet member for Climate Change, said: "I'm really pleased to be able to launch this important scheme and meet other like-minded individuals who want to make positive changes to help tackle the climate emergency.
"Here at the Council, we have several plans dedicated to reducing our carbon emissions. But we can only do so much which is why I'm so excited about this scheme where we can get residents from all walks of life to go and help us spread the word about some of the simple things we can all do to help out planet."
Applications are now open and with residents able to sign up here
Climate Ambassadors will receive recognition of their role and activities by the Council through an official Climate Ambassador status and the opportunity to publicise their engagement activities.
They will also receive full training and will have access to materials and resources to engage others in climate conversations.
Each Climate Ambassador will be endorsed for a period of one year, reviewed in May, with the possibility of an extension.
The launch of the Climate Ambassador scheme ticks off yet another action on the Council’s Climate Emergency Action Plan.
