We welcome Stroud District Council’s pledge to “do everything within the Council’s power to make Stroud District Carbon Neutral by 2030“. Like the Council, we believe that the 2030 target will only be achieved by working in partnership across community, public and business spheres.
A rapid programme of decarbonisation presents major challenges, but there could also be many benefits, including: a safer future, cleaner air, more comfortable buildings and homes, more local food supplies, an improved natural environment and resilience to severe weather.
The final Masterplan from the Council is now available: Stroud District Council, the 2030 Strategy Limiting, Adapting, Recovering and Responding in a Changing Climate
