Description:
Cumbria Action For Sustainability (CAfS) is a climate change charity with a big vision - a vision of a zero carbon Cumbria, which is socially, environmentally and economically beneficial for all. We aim to achieve this by promoting and facilitating low carbon living and its benefits- inspiring and supporting individuals, communities, and organisations across Cumbria and beyond to de-carbonise lives and businesses by 2037 or sooner.
Our work focuses on the following key areas:
* Zero Carbon Cumbria Partnership- which brings together cross-sector individuals and organisations to drive down carbon emissions.
* Education and training- raising climate awareness in homes, schools and businesses to inspire and support change.
* Communities- supporting action to reduce the carbon footprint of their area by implementing low carbon solutions that matter to them.
* Energy - providing advice and practical work to homes, businesses and communities to increase efficiency, install renewables and reduce bills. Our Cold to Cosy Homes scheme also supports hundreds of people each year at risk of fuel poverty.
* Food - engaging with producers to implement sustainable agricultural practices and bring local, low carbon food to our tables.
Here at CAfS, we support a fair transition to zero carbon, one where no-one is left behind. We know that we can fight climate change best by working together; safeguarding our world for the present and for future generations to come.
