Climate Change Strategy

We all have a responsibility to change the way we consume energy in order to reduce the effects of climate change and assure the wellbeing of future generations.

In 2006 the council made a commitment to tackling climate change by signing up to the Nottingham Declaration; a pledge to actively tackle climate change in the borough.  The council has developed a strategy after a thorough review of current operational practices and emissions.
