Hi all Hope you are well. A date has been agreed for the first Climate Change / Natural Resources (Open Environment) workshop. It will take place on **July 1st at 2 pm**. Workshops bring together civil society and civil servants to co-create commitments for the next (fifth) National Action Plan for Open Government. You can see the last (current) National Action Plan [here](https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/uk-national-action-plan-for-open-government-2019-2021). National Action Plans or NAPs must be completed every two years by countries who are members of the [Open Government Partnership](https://www.opengovpartnership.org/). This is a global movement of 78 countries and 76 local governments, all of whom have [signed a declaration](https://www.opengovpartnership.org/process/joining-ogp/open-government-declaration/) to make governments more accountable, transparent and participatory. Basically the NAP turns the principles of open government into measurable action. They are independently assessed too. Whilst [Natural Resource Transparency was a commitment in the last NAP](https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/uk-national-action-plan-for-open-government-2019-2021/uk-national-action-plan-for-open-government-2019-2021#com5) the broader theme of Climate Change opens up opportunities for a much broader discussion. You can see what other countries are doing in this area[here](https://www.opengovpartnership.org/policy-area/environment-climate/). Below is a list of civil society attendees subscribed so far as there may be others you wish to invite. The success of the NAP process is intrinsically linked to the quality and diversity of involvement from civil society. Please look for gaps and encourage your networks to get involved by sharing this form: [https://forms.gle/jerGjJnbK2PzqSpD6](https://forms.gle/jerGjJnbK2PzqSpD6) You can also retweet this [tweet](https://twitter.com/OpenGovUK/status/1388063823995809793?s=20) and look out for more as we approach July 1st. Finally, thank you again for being involved in this! Open government matters more than ever. See you on July 1st at 2 pm.
