Dear Mid Ulster District Council,

Please treat this as an Freedom of Information/Environmental Information
Regulations request.

I would like information about your council’s carbon literacy training in
relation to climate action for the Council Climate Action Scorecards. This
information may be held by the HR department or other departments that
organise staff training.

In particular, please supply me with information relating to the following
questions:

a. Have all senior management received carbon literacy training or
equivalent since 1st January 2019? Please state the type of training.

b. Have all current councillors in the cabinet or committee chairs
received carbon literacy training or equivalent since being elected?
Please state the type of training.

This training could be from the Carbon Literacy Organisation or another
organisation, university or in-house. We want to know the number of people
who have attended the training. We don’t need to know the number of staff
that have received a certificate of completion or attendance.

I look forward to hearing from you in due course.

Yours faithfully,

Hannah Jewell, Climate Emergency UK

Subject: Freedom of Information request - Lobbying for climate action &
funding

Dear Mid Ulster District Council,

Please treat this as an Freedom of Information/Environmental Information
Regulations request.

I would like information about your council’s lobbying work in relation to
climate action for the Council Climate Action Scorecards.

In particular, please supply me with information relating to the following
question:

Has the council written to or met with UK national or devolved governments
to ask or lobby for climate action since 1st January 2019? Please provide
some evidence of the most recent letter or meeting such as a copy of the
letter or email sent, or the date, topic of meeting and position of the
person that the meeting was held with.

This includes either asking for more powers and funding for local
authorities to take climate action, or asking for the government to take
further action themselves. This includes working with other local
authorities to send joint letters or meetings to lobby UK or devolved
governments, and includes both general climate action and calls for action
on specific issues such as transport where climate change is mentioned as
a motivating factor for taking action.

This includes if a cabinet member or other councillor has written to or
met with the UK or devolved governments on behalf of the council.

I look forward to hearing from you in due course.

Yours faithfully,

Hannah Jewell, Climate Emergency UK
