Addressing climate change

The West of England Partnership has tried to ensure that all its strategies, plans and actions are developed with the need to reduce carbon emissions and adapt to climate change in mind.

This aspect of the Partnership's work was given a boost in 2010 when, through Forum for the Future, Jonathon Porritt offered to lead a series of workshops on leadership in tackling climate change with the Partnership's Boards and the Joint Transport Executive Committee. 

This enabled the Partnership to develop action plans specifically geared at addressing these issues.  They are contained in a report which received the strong support of the Partnership Board at its meeting in February 2011.
