REASON

 

i)     
The Climate Action Strategy provides the framework for collective
action across the district on climate change, demonstrating Council
leadership on this important issue, as well as what actions
partnerships and the wider community should be taking to reduce
carbon emissions and to adapt to the changing climate.

 

ii)    
This will allow minor amendments to be made to the Strategy as
opportunities arise and for the actions in the Strategy to be
implemented.
