Climate Emergency and Action prior to COP26
Climate Emergency and Action prior to COP26
in
The UK will host the 26th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26) in Glasgow between 1 and 12 November 2021. The COP26 summit will bring parties together to accelerate action towards the goals of the Paris Agreement and the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. Middlesbrough has become one of the first towns and cities in the world at the forefront of tackling the climate emergency through food. The town’s Mayor Andy Preston has signed the Glasgow Food and Climate Declaration which brings together an international coalition of organisations to speak with a united voice about their commitment to develop sustainable food policies. In a study by Sustain – the alliance for better food and farming – of 92 local authority action plans on the issue, Middlesbrough was one of only 13 to hit the mark asked for by the declaration.

Trees Planted in Albert Park
Trees Planted in Albert Park
in
We have planted 15 urban trees in Albert Park, Middlesbrough, on 24 November 2020, to celebrate 75 years of SI Middlesbrough and 100 years of Soroptimist International. 5 Rowan, 5 Hazel and 5 Crab Apple, native species from the Woodland Trust, are planted in a central location near the fountain close to the bluebells we planted last year. This will help in enhancing the environment, increasing oxygen levels, and reducing the climate change. A sign is placed nearby to publicise the centenary and our club.
