Issue - meetings

The Green Economy and Climate Change have never been more important for Northumberland.  The Climate Change Action Plan sets out the actions that the Council will take to create a net-zero Northumberland by 2030, whilst also seeking to attract green investment into the county and generate more green jobs.

The Action Plan focuses on the priorities for the next two years (2021/22, 2022/23) alongside the work required to develop the strategies and deliver the projects needed from 2023. Fundamental to the delivery of this Action Plan will be a county wide change in mindset and behaviours, which will only be possible through effective and far reaching engagement and partnerships with residents, communities, businesses, visitors and central government.  The Action Plan builds on and supersedes the previous Climate Commitment Action Plan 2020-21 (Appendix B).

The report of the CSEG OSC on this matter will be circulated when the Committee has met.
