Decision details

10.1

The Committee considered a report of the Executive Director- City Futures regarding the Council’s 10 Point Plan for climate action that was adopted in March.  The plan provided a framework for how the organisation would act in the short-term and included how we would put climate at the centre of decision-making as well as committing the organisation to working towards reducing Council carbon emissions to net-zero by 2030.

One of the commitments of the 10-point plan was to produce a series of ‘route maps’ that covered the detailed actions which the council and the city needs to take to support this pathway to net zero.

The report responded to the request made by Members of the Transport, Regeneration and Climate Policy Committee in September to provide an update on the progress that the Council was making in the production of the route maps and the programme for presenting the draft route maps to the Committee for formal approval.

10.2

RESOLVED UNANIMOUSLY: That the Transport, Regeneration and Climate Policy Committee:-

Notes the approach being progressed and delivered including the timing and phasing of the route maps, in line with the milestones that have been agreed in the Councils One Year Delivery Plan (adopted June 2022). 

10.3

Reasons for Decision

10.3.1

Noting the approach set out in this report will enable Officers to continue to work towards achieving the milestone that has been agreed in the Council’s One Year Delivery Plan, alongside those in the 10-point plan for climate action.

10.4

Alternatives Considered and Rejected

10.4.1

Do nothing – this option has been rejected on the grounds that the Council would not be progressing towards its net zero by 2030 target, achieve the objectives of its 10-point plan for climate action or the milestone set out the in One Year Delivery Plan.
