About us
About us.
FODCAP is a growing partnership of local communities, businesses and organisations who want urgent and fair climate action. We work together to build a net-zero and climate resilient Forest of Dean.
To reach net-zero by 2030 we need to work together. We need to be fair, visionary and strategic.
FODCAP aims to connect, inspire and enable groups and organisations to take effective action on climate change. We do this by:
Supporting groups, businesses and organisation within the Forest of Dean to work together.
Connecting actors at different levels so information, contacts, and knowledge enable effective climate action.
Connecting those working on climate within the Forest of Dean with learnings, networks, and decision-makers outside the District.
Involving a greater diversity of people, partners, and groups in climate work, including those not currently active on climate issues.
If you want to help build a net-zero and climate resilient Forest of dean please join our growing partnership of group, businesses and organisation.
FODCAP is governed by a steering group of representatives from the partnership. For information on the steering group please contact anya@holding-the-space.org.
You can learn more about FODCAP’s history and development in our Learnings From The Forest report.
At the end of 2022 the charitable foundation, Thirty Percy worked with a ‘Holding The Space’ facilitator to learn more about the Forest of Dean Climate Action Partnership (FODCAP), which had become inactive.
The aim was to better understand what would be needed to ‘re-start’ it. The facilitator, Anya Hyndside worked with Thirty Percy Staff member and born and bred Forest of Dean resident Leah Treherne to meet with different groups, organisations and individuals active on climate work across the Forest of Dean to find out what they needed to do good climate partnership work. The end of 2023 started to bring together those partners and settled on the name FODCAP.
