Climate Change
Climate change is one of the greatest challenges facing our world today. It is likely to affect all of us, but the good news is that we can all be part of the solution.
Nottinghamshire County Council’s carbon management plan sets out how the Council plans to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from its buildings and operations.
Looking more widely, the Council is working with organisations across Nottinghamshire to raise awareness of climate change, take action to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and adapt to become better able to live with the effects of a changing climate. A climate change partnership is being developed to support this work.
