Minutes:

20.1     The Cabinet considered a report by the Director of Communities, Economy and Transport and the Chief Operating Officer.

20.2     It was RESOLVED to note the progress report.

Reason

20.3        The Council has recognised the severity of the climate crisis by declaring a climate emergency, by setting a clear science-based target and by committing an additional £9.9m of funding up to March 2025 to cutting corporate carbon emissions. The scale of the Council’s functions and the diversity of providers the Council works with makes this a complex and substantial task. Significant work has already been undertaken to reduce emissions and will continue to be undertaken. This report sets out the further progress made during 2022-23.
