Energy, Change and Opportunity Strategy
What is the council doing to tackle the causes and effect of climate change?
The ‘Energy, Change and Opportunity (ECO) strategy’ is a framework strategy which sets out the council’s ambitions for reducing its carbon emissions as an organisation and preparing for unavoidable climate change. It links to other council strategies to ensure its objectives are embedded across the entire organisation. It will be supplemented by detailed action plans to set out more specifically how we are going to deliver our climate change ambitions, including:
- Carbon Management Plan for the council’s emissions
- Climate Change Adaptation Plan for Wiltshire
- Low Carbon Transition Plan for Wiltshire
Together, the strategy and the action plans will enable the council to deliver against the key themes of waste, transport, water, purchasing and procurement, biodiversity and natural environment, energy, planning and communicating environmental issues.
