REASON FOR
DECISIONS: In 2019 the Council passed a motion to declare a
Climate Emergency, pledging to do everything within its power to
become carbon neutral by 2030. In July 2023, the Council also
declared an Ecological Emergency recognising that the crisis facing
nature requires urgent action and is interlinked with the climate
crisis. The replacement of the Climate Change Strategy 2022-2027
and transition to the Sustainability Strategy will reflect the
Sustainability priority in the Council Plan 2024-28. As such it
includes new actions under this broader scope. It also reflects the
latest legislation and best practice.
