Purpose

Approval of a new Climate Change Strategy for
North Northamptonshire

Content

RESOLVED
 
KEY DECISION
 

That
the Executive approved the Climate Change Strategy (2025-2030) at
Appendix A to the report
 
 
Reasons for
Recommendations:

The Climate Change
Strategy (CCS) aligns with the Council’s corporate priority
to provide a green sustainable environment.
The CCS aligns with
the Council’s adoption of the climate change route map, which
sets out the action to develop a strategy for North
Northamptonshire.
The CCS supports the
Council’s ambition for climate change mitigation as set out
in the Corporate Plan.
The CCS compliments a
number of existing environmental policies and strategies, such as
the Carbon Management Plan, Electric Vehicle Infrastructure
Strategy, Pollinator Strategy, Local Nature Recovery project, and
the Local Plan.

 

Alternative Options Considered:
The alternative option is not to publish the CCS. This would not
align with the Council’s declaration of a climate and
environment emergency, or wider strategic priorities. This option
is therefore not recommended.
