COMMUNITY CLIMATE ACTION GROUP (CCAG)

ABOUT OUR LOCAL

Community Climate Action Group (CCAG)

The group was formed by members of our local community who had an interest how we might move towards zero carbon. Following a public meeting held at Sand Hutton and Claxton Village Hall in April 2023 a small group formed a committee. As a community we could achieve an enormous amount together. Whilst we can wait for government policies and industry standards to drive top-down change, the world needs a more immediate, “bottom-up” ground swell of action.

What is CCAG?

A group of residents who are keen to help the local community do what they can to help tackle climate change. Core to this is helping people understand the steps they can take to improve the energy efficiency of their own property and the cost benefits they could potentially realise.

Background

CCAG focuses on household energy conservation measures and how our villages could reduce our communities’ carbon emissions and contribute to the climate emergency facing us all. We have prepared a LIST OF CONTRACTORS that could be used to reduce a household’s carbon footprint (the list carries no specific endorsements)

Our Climate Journey

We are now reaching out to the community with the aim of pulling together – residents, businesses, farms, schools, churches, community buildings and groups – to understand what we can all do, individually and as a collective, to make a difference. Everyone has a chance to play their part and we are keen to help play a coordinating / educational / supporting role to achieve this.

To date we have held two public meetings:

26 April 2023

Our Group has been recently awarded £1,500 from the North Yorkshire Council’s Shared Prosperity Fund to expand the reach of our group from Claxton, Sand Hutton and surrounding villages to the whole of South West Ryedale.

Get Involved

We are looking to expand our reach and would like to hear from you if you are interested in taking a pro-active role in helping our community to move towards zero carbon emissions. Please take the attached survey so we can learn more about what you have done as an individual to reduce your carbon footprint.

Over the coming months we intend to hold OPEN MEETINGS where members of our local community can learn more about how to reduce their carbon footprint. Please revisit this page regularly to see what is going on.
