Priority 6 of 6
Local climate action
Urgent action on the climate crisis, working with businesses, farms, schools and communities across Uttlesford.
What we will work for
- Treat the climate crisis as the emergency it is
- Show decisive leadership in reducing greenhouse gases and encouraging sustainable lifestyles
- Maximise recycling and reduce waste
Why it matters here
The climate crisis is a growing threat, and we need action at every level to cut greenhouse gases and restore nature.
Green councillors played an important part in Uttlesford District Council’s declaration of a Climate and Ecological Emergency in 2019, and worked with the community-based EcoForum on the council’s climate strategy. They also started the Chairman’s Charter to cut single-use plastics across the district.
We will keep working on the climate crisis with businesses, farms, schools, churches, organisations, other parties and everyone in Uttlesford.
