Climate PLAN 2005

In recent years there has been growing concern about how human activities are making changes to the earth's climate.

South Cambridgeshire District Council has accepted the need to address the issue of climate change by preparing a climate plan. The plan, which has resulted from various consultations and ongoing partnership working activities, has helped identify actions intended to reduce the district's greenhouse gas emissions and ensure it is capable of adapting to climate change over the medium to long term. The Council also acknowledges climate change is not a 'stand alone' issue rather it is one which concerns all Council services and activities.

The plan essentially marks the start of a process that will enable the Council to plan ahead and identify enduring, timely and cost-effective measures for dealing with climate change.
