Climate change communications plan
The Council’s annual Climate Change Communications Plan aims to encourage positive behavioural changes amongst the boroughs populations related to climate change and sustainability.
The first Climate Change Communications Plan was approved at Corporate Management Committee on 21 March 2024 and focussed on anti-idling and food waste. As part of these campaigns, the Council launched the ‘Be a Stop Idol’ campaign. Through our work with primary schools on this campaign, Stop Idol assemblies were delivered in four schools to an estimated 1200 students, with a total of 580 students entering poster competitions in total. Winners were selected in each case and banners of the winning entrants presented back to the schools to be displayed in a suitable location.
On 20 March 2025, the Council’s Corporate Management Committee approved the annual Climate Change Communications Plan 25/26 focussed on the development of two Environment Champion Networks for Runnymede: one internal staff network and one external community network. The aim of the Environment Champions networks are to promote more environmentally conscious communities, expand and improve knowledge transfer within networks, and support the resilience and adaptive capacity of communities. In addition, this network will enable the Council to improve engagement with communities on environmental action and contributions to the development of Council strategies, extend the reach of Council initiatives, and provide additional environmental ambassadors, internally and within the borough.
