Rationale

The rationale behind the Council’s original Climate Action and Carbon Reduction Plan (published 2023) stemmed from Wyre Forest District Council’s most recent Corporate Plan, in which the production and implementation of a carbon reduction plan for the district and for the Council was identified as a key strategic priority for the years 2023-2027, as was the establishment of the Wyre Forest District as “a green place to live, work, and visit.” This document is designed to act as an annual report on that initial plan for the year 2024, with all information updated where there has been a circumstantial change or key development in that particular area/project. This process will be repeated in the future, with an annual updated report being published each subsequent year.

Introduction

Climate change is fast becoming the defining challenge of the 21st century and constitutes the largest existential threat to humankind (and indeed of most life on earth) in the current age. In response to this, Wyre Forest District Council has worked on tackling climate change and reducing carbon emissions through its own activities for number of years. The Council declared a climate emergency on 22 May 2019. This Climate Action and Carbon Reduction Plan pulls together activities across the Council and some of its partners to tackle climate change, increase resilience and reduce carbon emissions. It considers both existing actions and new projects that will be delivered in the period 2024 to 2027.
