REASONS FOR DECISIONS

In July 2019, Chesterfield Borough
Council declared a Climate Emergency. As part of the declaration,
CBC made a commitment to become a carbon neutral organisation by
2030 and to support the wider borough to become carbon neutral by
2050.

The Council’s initial Climate
Change Action Plan (2019-23) is now complete, and the subsequent
Climate Change Strategy 2023-2030 and accompanying delivery plans
provide a framework for the Council to reach its corporate
commitment to becoming carbon neutral by 2030 and take steps to
support the wider Borough to reach carbon neutrality by 2050 as
required by government.
