Climate
Place based approaches have an important role to play in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and building resilience in our communities against the impacts of climate change.
Taking effective action will involve the participation of all interests and the development of partnerships and collaborations. It is key that local people are part of the changes which will build resilience against the impacts of climate change in our communities, our towns and cities.
Climate Mitigation
Climate mitigation refers to reducing the amount of greenhouses gases that we are producing and releasing into the air, or to increasing the storage of carbon, for example in peat lands. This means encouraging low carbon lifestyles by supporting individuals to change behaviours, as well changing building and manufacturing processes and land use.
Just Transition
The changes required to tackle climate change will be significant. The Climate Change Act 2019 embeds the principles of a just transition; this means that as we reduce our emissions and respond to a changing climate, our journey is fair and creates a better future for everyone – regardless of where they live, what they do, and who they are.
