What we're doing to combat climate change

Carbon Reduction Management Plan

In 2019, we recognised and declared a climate emergency. We made a commitment to look for ways that we can reduce greenhouse gas emissions - and support Suffolk's aim of becoming carbon neutral by 2030.

We hope that our commitment to:

• 'take the lead in responding to the challenge of climate change and protecting and enhancing our natural and historic environments' and
• 'leaving a positive legacy for our children and grandchildren'

will ensure Babergh and Mid Suffolk's sustainability.

Biodiversity Action Plan

Our Biodiversity Action Plan was published following recommendations presented to Councils in November 2020

This Plan details how we aim to protect and strengthen plant life and local wildlife within the districts.
