Bristol is recognised for leadership on environmental sustainability, with a record for creating a ‘low carbon city with a high quality of life for all’. However, there is an urgent need to address exclusion of Black and Minority Ethnic communities.

The Green and Black report is a report of the activities of an initiative launched by Ujima Radio in response to Bristol European Green Capital 2015. This report also records the discussions from community consultations.

The key aims of the report are to:

• Give background and context to some of the issues faced by the Green and Environmental agenda in working with BAME communities.
• Highlight the work Ujima Radio undertook during the Bristol European Green Capital Year under its ‘Green and Black’ campaign.
• Report on the Green and Black Conversation workshop, held with members of the BAME community.
• Prepare for future partnership working and activities.
