… habitats. To help reach ‘net zero’ emissions, more carbon needs to be removed from the atmosphere and stored for long periods. Artificial means of carbon capture and storage (CCS) are being explored but there is nothing yet in place at the scale needed. Locally, there may be potential to store captured carbon by reuse of the Liverpool oil and gas fields in the Irish Sea. This opportunity is being…

In Wirral, to meet our fair share of the global effort to tackle climate change we need: - Deep and fast cuts in climate damaging pollution. We must reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) pollution by around three and a half times more each year than we…

…, before we are hit with even greater extremes. To make progress together we must see: - A swift reduction in demand for energy across all sectors - business, industry and household. At least 100,000 homes alone need upgrading to be more energy efficient over the next ten years. - A complete switch to clean ‘zero carbon’ energy sources by around 2041. - A complete shift to fossil fuel free local…
