Following the approval of North Yorkshire Council's new climate change strategy, Its hoped that the new will lead to the council taking action on environmental issues.
That's according to North Yorkshire Climate Champion Paul Haslam who says that it's a big step in the right direction.
The strategy, which was adopted at a meeting of the council’s executive features a three-pronged approach in which it hoped cutting greenhouse gas emissions, preparing for climate change and supporting nature across England’s largest county will help focus people’s minds on environmental issues.
The seven year climate strategy was amended to include actions that are not core council activities, including a focus on what the council can do to support cut agricultural emissions.
The strategy also includes supporting community action, particularly community energy development, which it is felt has “huge potential for both climate change and cost of living responses”.
Another key addition to the strategy has been improving the response of the council “to the barrier of electrical grid capacity”, following concerns such as the ability to develop solar farms and a comprehensive electric vehicle charging network across the vast, rural area.
Paul Haslam says that it gives them the chance to plan and review the new strategy and the impact that it's having.
