James 01:07:03 Jacky lawrence: Thank you - very interesting. Good to hear what else is happening. FYI - we have the Low Carbon Warwickshire Network where I live which is trying to join up climate community groups and Parish Councils in this county. We are all volunteers and work with the RSA and try and support the formation of new community groups in rural areas. 01:08:10 Belinda Bawden Dorset Council, Lyme Regis Town Council: The Net Zero targets are less important now than reaching our Carbon Budget limits set by govt's Climate Change Committee. They clearly show the need to front-load the emissions reductions so even the govt targets show the need to start reducing rapidly now. So even where the Net Zero targets are 2050, the Carbon Budgets will show much more ambition targets. 01:12:48 tristram cary: Apologies, I need to leave now.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://wiki.greatcollaboration.uk/knowledgebase/events/banter-sessions-inc-table-of-all-sessions/banter-04-community-climate-action-plan-31jan24-joolz-thompson.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
