Article summary

The Association of Directors of Environment, Economy, Planning and Transport has published a blueprint for ‘accelerating climate action and a green recovery at the local level’, produced by a coalition of local government, environmental and research organisations, which calls on the UK government to support local authorities in delivering climate action. The report outlines that Local authorities have an ‘indispensable role’ to play in getting the UK to meet its 2050 net zero target, and that public money shouldn’t be used to ‘go back to business as usual’.
