Climate change
Climate change is becoming increasingly
prominent in all aspects of political life. Media
coverage is helping to raise awareness and instigate action at a
local and global level. Everyone in Peterborough has a part
to play in reducing the impact of climate change, but the council
also acknowledges that it must put its own house in
order whilst asking others to do the same. Chief
Executive of Peterborough City Council, Gillian Beasley, has
produced a film called “Gillian’s Footprint
Counts – what about yours?” which illustrates the environmental
impact of her every day actions and how simple changes can have a
huge impact on our environment.
