…% of residents have access to a car compared to 74% nationally. Three Rivers District Council is keen to encourage the switch to more sustainable transport modes such as walking, cycling and public transport (passenger transport reduces carbon emissions by about 58% for each trip) which will reduce greenhouse gas emissions, congestion, noise and air pollution, and improve health and wellbeing…
…, community groups, voluntary organisations and partners. The Strategy will embed the climate and ecological emergencies into the culture and decision making of the Council, reduce carbon emissions through regular measurement, minimise energy consumption and promote a transition to renewable energy. It will also enable and encourage sustainable modes of travel to reduce reliance on carbon-fuelled…
… gas emissions causing climate change are a product of our ‘take-make-waste’ extractive economy, which relies on polluting fossil fuels and fails to manage natural resources sustainably. Through this Strategy, Three Rivers District Council is committing to transform how it tackles the climate and ecological crises facing us.

… by 2050, and can expect 3cm to 27cm of sea-level rise varying regionally across the UK, a 10% increase in heavy rainfall, and a 50% chance of each summer being hotter than that of 2018. If global greenhouse gas emissions are brought rapidly to net-zero in the second half of this century, UK temperatures (and rainfall) could be kept close to their level in 2050. However, sea levels in the UK would…
… continue to rise, as oceans respond more slowly to changes in global temperature. If we take action to radically reduce greenhouse gas emissions now, we may be able to limit the increase in global surface temperature to 2ºC above pre-industrial levels. Doing so will limit the burden we place on future generations and those in more vulnerable countries, protect our economies, and provide wider…
