The vision of the Herefordshire Climate and Nature Partnership is a thriving zero-carbon nature-rich Herefordshire by 2030. The purpose of the Partnership is to catalyse and coordinate new action to help achieve this vision, through steering and overseeing the implementation of Herefordshire’s Climate and Nature Action Plans.
Herefordshire Council are looking for people from a wide variety of backgrounds to join the Board and work collaboratively with others to:
- Mobilise individuals and organisations countywide to sign up to the Partnership and to engage in the Action Plans
- Commission projects in support of the Action Plans
- Monitor progress on the Action Plans including helping to develop up to date carbon and nature assessments for the county
- Review and update the Action Plans, by regularly reviewing progress and priorities, and drawing on examples of good practice from Herefordshire and elsewhere
The Board is expected to meet at least quarterly but is likely to meet monthly in its infancy; this will be agreed at the first board meeting. There will be no remuneration paid to any Board members for the opinion and guidance they provide.
The Board will strive to make meetings accessible for all. Meetings will be virtual to begin with. Should they meet in future face to face, accessible venues will be used. They understand that people’s work and life commitments vary, and will be flexible with the time of the Board meetings to enable as many people to participate as possible.
All applications must be submitted by 5.00pm on Thursday 16 September 2021.
