For the first time, Climate Emergency UK have assessed and scored UK councils of all types except for parish/town councils, on their completed climate action across the whole council, in Council Climate Action Scorecards. The scores vary, but only 41 councils score more than 50% in the assessment.
We are in a climate and ecological emergency and we already know that national and local governments need to do more to reach net zero at the scale and pace needed. As councils across the UK score low, it is clear that there are national barriers making it harder for councils to deliver effective, point scoring, climate action. However the Scorecards show, with evidence, that there is lots more many councils can do within current constraints to make better progress towards net zero.
Broadland District Council is average in performance when compared with other district councils.
