Minutes:

The Strategic Director (Operations and Commercial) presented the report on the Climate Change Strategy. The strategy set out the need for action and defined the extent of emissions that were either within the Council’s control or were those over which the Council had influence. It also set out the areas which required action to be taken by the Council to achieve the goal of it becoming net zero by 2030 and to also support the wider district achieving net zero by 2050.

 

In response to questions from Members it was stated that the Action Plan was a developing ‘live’ document and would continue to evolve. Any significant projects relating to it would be executive decisions and would be subject to potential scrutiny.    

 

RESOLVED: That Cabinet decision CAB74 be endorsed as followed:

 

(a)  That the Climate Change Strategy and the actions outlined in the Action Plan be approved.

 

(b)  That support for the continued development of the actions covering both emissions within the Council’s control and those over which the Council has no influence or concern be confirmed.
