Step 4:

Develop a Climate Action Plan

A Climate Action Plan helps parish and town councils cut carbon emissions, boost biodiversity, and build resilience. As the closest level of government to communities, councils can lead by embedding climate action in decisions and working with local partners. A well-designed plan, tailored to local needs, guides practical steps like energy efficiency, nature recovery, and sustainable transport. By setting clear goals and tracking progress, councils can ensure lasting impact. This section provides guidance, case studies, and resources to support councils in developing effective plans.
