The first Bro Ffestiniog Community Assembly on the Climate took place over three sessions on Monday evenings in June 2022 at y Ganolfan Gymdeithasol Bro Ffestiniog in Blaenau Ffestiniog.
Fifty people from the area, who have been selected as Assembly members attended the first Assembly to meet and get to know each other and to make a start on the work of co-creating an Action Plan for the area.
During these first session the members discussed their hopes and fears about the assembly process and their experience of climate change. They also heard from local people and experts, and started to discuss and map out what resources and projects already exist locally.
Here is the full report from Bro Ffestiniog’s first Assembly.
