City climate actions
Derby Sustainability Board
The Derby Sustainability Board is a team of people from all around Derby who care about the planet and want to help make the city a better, greener place.
It includes people from:
- The NHS (the health service),
- Large and small businesses,
- Community groups, and volunteers.
The Council helps organise the meetings but doesn’t run the group. Everyone joins voluntarily and meets at least four times a year to talk about how Derby can fight climate change and become more sustainable.
They work together as “TeamDerby” to support the United Nations Sustainable Development GoalsOpens in new tab, which are 17 goals to make the world a safer, fairer, and healthier place.
What does the Board do?
- Decides on the big goals for a greener Derby.
- Picks important projects to focus on what will help the most.
- Tracks progress to see if things are improving.
- Shares updates with other local leaders and ask for help if needed.
- Reviews their plans every few years to keep things on track.
