Agenda item

The Deputy Leader presented a report to Council seeking endorsement for the Vision Derbyshire Climate Change Strategy.

The importance of working collaboratively on climate change had been acknowledged by all Derbyshire councils as evidenced by their work in creating an overarching strategy, supportive of individual authorities’ plans. The development and adoption of a joint strategy had also been identified as an opportunity to establish common ambitions and priorities, foster collaboration and resource sharing, and promote consistency and best practice in delivery.

A Vision Derbyshire Climate Change working group, comprising of political and officer representatives from all Derbyshire councils had been established and a series of ambition areas identified which were supported by a detailed action plan.

RESOLVED –

That the publication and delivery of the Vision Derbyshire Climate Change Strategy (2022-2025) be endorsed by Council.
