… of this commitment, the Councils resolved to develop a science- and evidence-based Carbon Neutral Plan that would identify the key actions and intervention measures required to set the Councils on the path to net zero carbon emissions. This work is intended to provide the Councils with an understanding of their own carbon emissions baseline and identify the steps that need to be taken to achieve…
