Issue - meetings

A report was received proposing the MCA declares a ‘Climate and Environmental Emergency”.

It was noted urgent work is scheduled to help identify dates by when a zero-carbon scenario could be realised.

Members considered the need to collaborate at all levels to manage the effects of climate changes.

Members noted the expectation that a defined list of significant SCR actions to address climate change will be developed.

RESOLVED, that the MCA:

1. Declares a ‘Climate and Environmental Emergency.’

Requests that a report be provided at the next meeting setting out, in further detail, the development of a plan for delivering a sustainable City Region, to be produced in collaboration with both universities, alongside a draft Energy Strategy (to be presented to the next meeting).
