In 2019, South Ribble Borough Council declared a climate emergency, pledging to work to make the borough carbon neutral by 2030.
In order to tackle this, a climate emergency working group was formulated and a climate emergency strategy was developed, followed by a climate emergency action plan (PDF) [688KB].
Our climate emergency strategy encompasses two broad themes:
Carbon Reduction Measures
- transport
- energy and the built environment
- waste and water
- consumption
- off-setting.
Resilience
- infectious diseaes
- food safety
- flooding
- planning.
