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

Increasing public awareness and understanding of climate action is important for several reasons, including:

• it empowers citizens to take and demand action on climate change;
• it elevates the prominence of climate change in the local discourse; and
• it ensures the City's key climate initiatives remain a priority for Surrey City Council.

For Surrey to achieve meaningful reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, support for and participation by local residents in CCAS initiatives is needed. This action aims to increase awareness and understanding of CCAS priorities and actions individuals can take to reduce GHG emissions and increase resiliency to climate change impacts. Education campaigns will leverage multiple communication avenues, including in-person events and online resources.
