The climate change and sustainability strategy

 The refreshed strategy contains the key objectives, targets and milestones that the council, its partners and the community will aim to achieve on the journey to becoming a low carbon district. We want to be a district that plans for the impacts of climate change, and benefits from restored natural habitats and green spaces.  The council will seek to provide leadership and act as an enabler to support neighbourhood, district and regional climate and nature action. 

The strategy contains eight action areas. It can be downloaded below along with the most recent annual update.
