Climate Change
Conservative Cotswold District Councillors have pledged to take action on climate change after a motion to Council received unanimous support on 29th January 2008.
The Nottingham Declaration on Climate Change is supported by the Energy Saving Trust and acknowledges that climate change is occurring and that it will continue to have far reaching effects on the UK's people and places, economy, society and environment.
It commits the Council to work with central government to contribute, at a local level, to the delivery of the UK Climate Change Programme, the Kyoto Protocol and the target for carbon dioxide reduction by 2010.
The Council has begun its work to develop plans with partners and local communities to progressively address the causes and the impacts of climate change, according to our local priorities, securing maximum benefit for our communities.
Cotswold District Council has acknowledged the increasing impact that climate change will have on our community during the 21st century and commits to tackling the causes and effects of a changing climate on our district.
Under the Councils recycling programme, already the most effective in Gloucestershire, a significant reduction in waste going to landfill will deliver a major contribution to reducing greenhouse gas emissions - particularly methane which is a far more potent greenhouse gas than Carbon Dioxide.
