“RBBC is responding to this challenge by aiming to achieve carbon neutrality (based on scope 1 & 2 emissions - Figure 2) by 2030 with a focus to achieving carbon neutral including scope 3 as soon as possible thereafter.”
“When considering the borough’s target to achieve net zero carbon by 2050, it is clear that planning guidance and policy play a crucial role in this aim when granting planning permission.”
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.
