L9.1Increase public awareness of the CCAS and individual actions

Increasing public awareness and understanding of climate action is vital for several reasons:

• It empowers citizens to take action and advocate for meaningful climate change solutions.
• It raises the profile of climate change in local discussions and decision-making.
• It helps ensure that the City’s key climate initiatives remain a priority for Surrey City Council.

Achieving meaningful reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions will require the active support and participation of Surrey residents in CCAS initiatives.

This action focuses on increasing public awareness of CCAS priorities and equipping individuals with the knowledge and tools to reduce their GHG emissions and build resilience to climate impacts. To achieve this, education campaigns will use diverse communication methods, including in-person events, online resources, and other outreach channels to engage and inspire the community.
