Principles met

Co-production

We will develop systems that enable citizens to be equal partners in designing and commissioning public services and in determining the use of public resources.
Innovation

We will embrace innovation in how we work with local communities to drive positive change.
Social partnership

We will strengthen the co-operative partnership between citizens, communities, enterprises and Councils, based on a shared sense of responsibility for wellbeing and mutual benefit.

Working in partnership with local group Bellville Community Garden Trust, RIG Arts (an arts charity) and Beacon Arts Centre (a contemporary theatre and arts centre), Inverclyde Council created a Climate Beacon, in an initiative funded by the Scottish Government’s Climate Change and Culture Division, Creative Scotland and Museum Galleries Scotland.
The Climate Beacon aims to bring together shared resources and knowledge and provide a space where members of the public, artists, environmental scientists and policymakers can discuss and debate COP26 themes and climate actions specific to their local area.
