Climate Change

Climate change is probably the most serious environmental challenge facing the planet. The evidence for climate change is compelling and there is now overwhelming agreement among scientists that human activity is the cause. Local authorities have a central role in leading society’s response to the challenge of climate change by helping communities to become resilient to more extreme weather events and reducing greenhouse gas emissions from their own buildings, services and the community.

Hinckley & Bosworth Borough Council acknowledges its responsibility in contributing towards greenhouse gas emissions from its operations, and by signing the Nottingham Declaration on Climate Change in November 2006, pledged to prepare a Climate Change Action Plan. Although the council has an important role to play, we cannot achieve an overall reduction on our own.
