The government is holding drop-in sessions for the public this week over new climate change proposals.

It's a chance for residents to put forward views as the Department of Environment Food & Agriculture continues its consultation on a new climate change mitigation strategy to run from 2020-2030.

DEFA is hosting them today at Thie Slieau Whallian in St Johns from 8am to 6pm and again on Thursday at the Sea Terminal in Douglas at the same time.

The consultation is also available on the government website and is open until Friday, May 17.
