Decision Made
That Cabinet:
Agree to join the UK100 network and sign East Suffolk Council up to the UK100 pledge.
Reason for Decision
Responding to the climate and nature emergencies continues to be a key pillar of the Council’s strategic direction. As set out in Our Direction 2028, ‘We are committed to achieving net zero as Council by 2030 and working collaboratively to deliver this for Suffolk, focussing and investing in the transition while protecting our core services’.
Climate change is a broad and significant challenge for all Local Authorities, which can only be addressed through open, proactive collaboration, both internally and with key partner organisations, such as through the UK100 network. On its own, East Suffolk cannot solve the challenge but can play an important role in finding solutions and leading by example.
The proposal in this report reaffirms the Council’s commitment to clear action on climate change and is a demonstration of the Council’s leadership.
