The Executive considered a detailed report setting out the progress of the delivery of actions contained in the Climate Change Action Plan. It was suggested that this progress report should be published as an appendix to the Climate Change Action Plan, with the view to updating progress every 6 months and adding further detail as projects developed.

In addition to agreeing the actions identified in the report, it was agreed that the Climate Change Working Group should add measurable targets against each of the actions identified in the Action Plan. Following recognition that 75% of the Council’s carbon footprint was generated from procured services, it was also agreed that the detail in Action O1 should be expanded to address this matter.
