The Nottingham
Declaration on climate change
Climate change poses a genuine threat to
our planet
|
The scale of the challenge means that all sectors of the
community have to be involved if we are to meet targets for
reducing emissions and adapting to climate change.
Local Authorities in particular have a crucial role to play in
responding to this challenge.
Councils can show their commitment to this important issue by
signing The Nottingham Declaration on climate change (2000).
Newham became the first Olympic and Paralympic Borough to sign
the Declaration in May 2007.
By signing, the council pledges to actively tackle climate
change in the borough and work with others to reduce emissions
country-wide.
