A new set of ambitious climate targets are to be discussed by councillors, as Durham County Council prepares to outline its next steps to achieving net zero.
On Wednesday, June 15, Durham County Council’s cabinet will hear a final update on its first Climate Emergency Response Plan (CERP1), and details of the next steps to further cut carbon emissions.
Councillors will then be presented with a new Climate Emergency Response Plan (CERP2), outlining further climate actions to be taken from 2022 until 2024.
Within CERP2 will be the introduction of new targets, as the council sets out an improved aim to achieve net zero within its operations by 2030, and net zero by 2045 for countywide emissions.
