To receive and comment on a presentation regarding the Climate Emergency UK – Council Climate Scorecards GAP Analysis Update.

Executive Councillor: L Davenport-Ray

By means of a presentation by the Operations Manager (Parks and Open Spaces), (a copy of which was appended in the Minute Book), the Climate Emergency UK – Council Climate Scorecards GAP Analysis Update was presented to the Panel.

Following a question from Councillor Shaw, it was clarified to the Panel that the score had been achieved by the Council’s work over their area, and that Cambridgeshire County Council’s score had been achieved by the work they had undertaken across the County. It was also clarified that aims were HDC aims and fields of influence, such as what does HDC want to do to manage emissions within the district.

Councillor Alban stated that he was reassured that the Council were in charge of their own destiny and that this could be tailored to the needs of residents. Councillor Kerr agreed with this statement and added that it was useful to be able to compare the results of the Council with other similar Council’s.
