The City Council wants to encourage a debate about this new way of thinking, because only by engaging people fully in the arguments and their practical implications can it become a way of acting. Implementation of the`catalytic'actions proposed in section 5 of this Call to Action - and others that could and will be identified as people respond - offers a chance to involve people from all walks of Manchester life in a learning process and so begin to build strategic capacity to act on a broader and deeper basis. This, rather than a separate consultation process, will be how the way of thinking is debated, refined and adopted and`champions'of climate change action will emerge. However, the Council hopes that intensive work to get action underway in spring 2009 will help to create a buzz around the Call to Action and generate a vigorous debate on the proposals.
