As some background to our involvement with the strategy:
We have representatives from the forum on the Climate Change Strategy Group and subgroups including: Natural Environment Subgroup, Planning and Development Subgroup, Built Environment Subgroup and Jon, the forum coordinator, chairs the Education and Awareness subgroup and attends the Climate Change Strategy Group. George Munson came to one of our monthly meetings to explain Leeds was preparing a climate chnage strategy becasue it is a signatory to the Nottingham Declaration. The forum held a workshop to collate and input ideas into the decision making process. We have been fully engaged as an equal decision-making partner at all stages of the strategy preparation process.
