About

The Bristol Green Capital Partnership is a free membership organisation whose aim is to make Bristol “a low carbon city with a high quality of life for all”. You can become a member as long as you are representatives of an organisation that wishes to play a role. Our Terms of Reference are here. There are three levels of engagement:

1. Pledgee – members who pledge that sign up to the Partnership’s vision, monitor and manage their carbon footprint and share best practice with other members – you can pledge here.  There is also a ‘pledge’ process for businesses -the flowchart is  here, and there is also a framework.
2. Momentum Group Members – the Partnership holds quarterly momentum group meetings at which we discuss policy issues, projects and other matters. Anyone who has pledged can attend MG meetings, but is then expected to participate more actively in supporting the work of the project. Our diary is here: DIARY OF EVENTS

1. Steering Group – the Partnership is overseen by a steering group consisting of committed individuals who are prepared to give their time and expertise to directly support the work of the Partnership.

There are two full-time members of staff: Darren Hall, Partnership Manager, and Elaine Ashley, Partnership Projects Officer. The Partnership is chaired by Professor Martin Bigg, and the vice-chair is Amy Robinson. You can contact us here.
