Tackling climate change is one of the greatest challenges facing our communities and ranks high in peoples’ priorities.
The consultation has closed and responses have revealed a clear consensus support, which the LGA has adopted as its headline position, that: local authorities need statutory duties and powers, sufficient funding, and robust support to lead on climate action.
Over the coming months the LGA will undertake further analysis on the findings and set out our next steps for developing detailed, evidenced, and costed proposals for moving forward.
