CCP Program update

ICLEI Oceania is pleased to announce some of the exciting new program offerings being developed for CCP Partner and Leader councils in 2008/09:

Future Proofing Forums
Intensive state or regional workshops targeting senior council decision-makers. What is involved in taking a holistic approach to climate change adaptation? How can councils go beyond simple risk management frameworks? The forums will draw on the tools and lessons from CCP's 2007/08 Adaptation Initiative pilot.

Switch IT Over
An implementation-focused project providing councils with step-by-step tools and guidance for 'making the switch' to greener IT, office equipment and staff behaviour during 2008/09. If council has equipment leases or warranties due to expire this may be the ideal time to act! For more information or to register your interest, email the Switch IT Over Project Manager.

Energy Data Management
Focusing on opportunities and barriers for local government in implementing effective energy data management and GHG emissions reporting. The project includes 10 x $10,000 grant opportunities for councils to work directly with CCP in this area during 2008/09.

Further details on these upcoming opportunities will be advised soon - if you have not yet registered to be a CCP Partner or Leader council and would like to be involved, please contact your CCP State Manager.
