The Staffordshire and Stoke-On-Trent Climate Commission has taken been actively developing an agreed Terms of Reference to provide a transparent and accountable constitution.
We sought advice and explored best practise from other regions that have established similar organisations including Bristol and Manchester and engaging the the Place-Based Climate Action Network to ensure we have a robust overarching governance structure.
Members of the group have worked together to deliberate and agree the constitution and members are now being asked to officially signed to acknowledge and agree to the Terms of Reference, which will be reviewed periodically as appropriate.
