02/09/2021 - Establishing the Climate Emergency Cabinet Advisory Group ref: 5074    Recommendations Approved

The council called a climate emergency on 11th July 2019.

 

As part of this declaration the Council has resolved to:

  • Pledge to do what is within our powers and resources to make Thanet District Council carbon neutral by 2030, taking into account both production and consumption emissions;
  • Call on Westminster to provide the powers and resources to make the 2030 target possible;
  • Continue to work with partners across the County and region to deliver this new goal through all relevant strategies;
  • Investigate all possible sources of external funding and match funding to support this commitment;

 

Following this, a cross party Climate Change Emergency Working Group was established and focussed on thestrategic development and delivery of the initial action plan. 

 

In September 2020, the council employed a Climate Change Officer whose role was to lead the council in the Climate Change Strategy. The initial action plan is now being amended and full strategies are being developed
