This council declared a climate emergency on Feb. 24, 2021.
“The Council has an ambition to be net-zero carbon by 2050 in line with the Governments’ target…. It was important for the Panel to recognise that councils could only commit to a target of net zero for their own services and activities.”
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.
East Riding of Yorkshire Council scored zero points in this assessment. This is because the council either didn’t have any published plans at the time of the assessment, or the plans didn’t qualify.
