Decision details

RESOLVED

i)               To adopt the Climate Action Strategy for the Horsham District as contained in the appendix attached to this report.

ii)              To delegate authority to the Director of Communities in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Climate Action and Nature Recovery to update the Climate Action Strategy and make amendments provided that any such changes do not undermine the Climate Action Strategy’s core values.

iii)             To note the actions that have been undertaken and to approve the actions that will be required to be undertaken by the Council, as contained in, and in order to give effect to the Climate Action Strategy.

REASON

i)      The Climate Action Strategy provides the framework for collective action across the district on climate change, demonstrating Council leadership on this important issue, as well as what actions partnerships and the wider community should be taking to reduce carbon emissions and to adapt to the changing climate.

ii)     This will allow minor amendments to be made to the Strategy as opportunities arise and for the actions in the Strategy to be implemented.
