Why it matters: The proposed centre would serve as a community space for environmental awareness activities, workshops, talks, sharing and fundraising events.
A working group is exploring the potential for establishing the facility, which would join a growing network of similar centres across the UK.
The big picture: Climate Emergency Centres aim to "create connections and build community alliances in shared spaces," according to Phoenix from the Climate Emergency Centre, who will lead the presentation.
What they're saying: "By creating a network of centres in cities across the UK, we aim to share resources, skills, and ideas to strengthen resilience and adapt to social and environmental challenges," say organisers.
"What an Ipswich CEC becomes depends wholly upon those involved. We'd love to hear your ideas and welcome your input at this early stage," they added.
For context: Both Norwich and Colchester already have established Climate Emergency Centres.
The details:
The free online Zoom session will take place on Thursday, 3 April from 20:00 to 21:30.
The presentation will last approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes.
The meeting is designed for people to learn about CECs and to discuss the potential for an Ipswich centre.
