A PLAN to tackle climate and ecological change in Denbighshire has been approved by full council. Denbighshire County Council declared a climate change and ecological emergency in 2019, which included a commitment to make the authority net carbon zero within 10 years, enhance biodiversity across the county and produce a clear plan to guide the work. The council’s Climate and Ecological Change Strategy which covers the years 2021/22 – 2029/30 sets out how the Council aims to become Net Carbon Zero and Ecologically Positive by 2030. The strategy includes targets to reduce the council’s carbon emissions from a range of sources, including a 50 per cent reduction from the energy and water used in council owned buildings, as well as targets to increase the amount of carbon absorbed by the land the council owns at the same time as creating more diverse habitats for plants and wildlife.
