This council declared a climate emergency on July 9, 2019.
“The plan has two targets: one for Chichester District Council’s operations and another for the whole District, covering all GHG emissions within it. Both the targets are a 10% reduction year-on-year from 2019 until 2025. If we meet these targets, we will have almost halved emissions. ”
This council’s climate plans as of 20th September 2021 were assessed and scored by trained Climate Emergency UK volunteers, as part of the Council Climate Plan Scorecards project.
