PDF 123 KBDecision Maker: Cabinet
Decision status: Recommendations Approved (subject to call-in)
Is Key decision?: Yes
Is subject to call in?: Yes
Purpose:
To approve the council’s new Carbon Management Plan (CMP) which sets out the council’s approach to reducing carbon emissions for the period 2026/27 to 2030/31. The plan is focussed on the council’s own operations, and will enable the council to deliver energy efficiencies, increased resilience and potential financial savings.
Decision:
That:
a) The Carbon Management Plan 2026/27 – 2030/31 is approved.
Alternative options considered:
Do not adopt the CMP and proceed without any guiding document to deliver continued emissions reduction from 2026/27 onwards. This would be contrary to the ongoing approach taken by the council to deliver energy efficiencies and reduce carbon emissions by 2030.
Reason Key: Strategic nature / impact on communities;
Wards Affected: (All Wards);
