Our Commitment to Help Address Climate Change
"The scientific evidence is now overwhelming: climate change presents very serious global risks, and it demands an urgent global response". The Stern Review: The Economics of Climate Change, 2007
"Our global environment faces many challenges, not least of which is climate change. BTCV continues to develop practical solutions, and encourage people to understand why their project is important in the global context". Inspiring people, improving places: BTCV Strategic Plan 2004 - 2008
BTCV recognises that if it is to make a real contribution to securing a more sustainable future it must take action which:
- Reduces the organisation's carbon footprint, by working, travelling and procuring services in a more sustainable way.
- Channels BTCV’s environmental project work to help mitigate the impact of climate change on threatened habitats and landscapes.
- Leads by example and encourages BTCV staff, volunteers and supporters to adopt pro-environmental behaviours in their work, social and home lives.
