Draft Strategy and Action Plan on Climate Change
The Cumbria Strategic Partnership (CSP) has developed a draft climate change strategy to support of the North West Climate Change Action Plan 'Rising to the Challenge'. The Cumbrian Strategy aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and enable people, organisations and industry to adapt to unavoidable impacts of climate change.
A Cumbrian strategy will need to help deliver national targets on reducing greenhouse gas emissions. It will also need to identify how climate change will affect Cumbria and provide guidance on adapting lifestyles and infrastructure, protecting assets and ensuring continued delivery of key services.
The Cumbrian strategy and action plan will guide policy and action by CSP members on managing climate change impacts and on reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
The CSP wishes to consult on the content of the draft strategy, its analysis of the situation, on how Cumbria is likely to be affected and on the relevance and suitability of the draft actions proposed.
No attempt has been made to produce a glossy document at this stage. The draft strategy is very much a 'work in progress' document and it is open to CSP member organisations, industry and commerce, the community sector and of course the people of Cumbria to shape and influence direction.
Draft Climate Change Strategy - Consultation
The consultation on the draft climate change strategy has closed. The responses received from CSP member organisations, other organisations and the public have been summarised in the Table of responses, link above. The CSP Task Group will be meeting over the next two months to assess the responses received and determine how these will shape the final draft strategy which will now go to the CSP in September 2008 for discussion and approval.
Are we Listening?
The Consultation on Are we Listening ~ Community Engagement in Cumbria is now closed. The strategy will be revised in the light of the comments received and it will be placed on this site for stakeholders to review.
