Why Now?

The climate crisis is one of the most pressing challenges of our time, and systemic change is needed. However, large-scale change starts locally. This workshop will help the Maldon community develop a shared vision for reducing emissions, increasing biodiversity, and making the town more resilient to climate impacts.

Alongside tackling climate change, the event promises a welcoming and engaging atmosphere, complete with free tea, coffee, sandwiches, and cake for all attendees.

"This isn't just another climate talk – it's a practical, action-driven event where people will leave with a plan and the tools to make real change," said event organizers.
