Minutes:
Cabinet had before it a report which provided a six-monthly update on the delivery of the 2024/25 Climate Action Programme workstreams.
The report also provides an overview of the council’s Carbon Management Plan 2030 delivery. Capital programme workstreams are progressing to support the decarbonisation and resilience of the council’s fleet and property. This investment will reduce emissions by a further 64% compared to 2019/20 over the next three years.
Councillor Pete Sudbury, Deputy Leader with Responsibility for Climate Change, Environment and Future Generations, presented the report.
The Zero Carbon Oxfordshire Manager gave a presentation on the main aspects of the report and answered questions.
During discussion, members referred to the importance of the initiatives in meeting the Council’s long-term climate goals and the need for continuous monitoring and updating of the programme to ensure its effectiveness.
Councillor Sudbury moved and Councillor Leffman seconded the recommendations, and they were approved.
