Perranzabuloe Action for Climate Emergency (PACE) is a group set up in 2020 which is working to support the Parish Council in looking after our local environment,  playing our part in tackling the climate emergency and biodiversity crisis.  This includes making recommendations to the Parish Council on environmentally positive policies and actions, leading green initiatives, and putting on community events and activities.
Our work includes a wide range of topics related to the environment including:
  • Community leadership and participation
  • Reducing consumption and waste
  • Reducing energy use and producing green energy
  • Transforming green spaces, enhancing wild places and restoring nature
  • Darkening the night sky
  • Changing how we move around
  • Producing and eating local food
  • Supporting local businesses and organisations
  • Building awareness among visitors
  • Building community resilience
