Climate Strategy discussion document summary May 2021

Developing a shared vision and delivery plans

Wiltshire Council invites feedback from stakeholders on this summary document. Your input will enable us to prepare a draft of our Climate Strategy for wider consultation in autumn 2021. A full version of the Climate Strategy Discussion Document January 2021 (PDF) [1MB] (opens new window)  is available online.

A range of delivery plans will be required in addition to the Climate Strategy. An updated Carbon Neutral Council Plan will support our carbon neutral commitment as an organisation, and Wiltshire Council's Climate Change Adaptation Plan will also be updated.

While the strategy is being developed and finalised it is crucial that we continue to implement immediate carbon reduction measures and strengthen our resilience efforts. Progress will continue to be reported to Wiltshire Council Cabinet and Full Council twice a year.

Your role

Please give us your feedback on this document summary and what you would like us to include in our Climate Strategy by emailing climate@wiltshire.gov.uk (opens new window). To support your feedback please could you consider the following 3 questions?

1. What do you feel are the 3 priorities for Wiltshire (not just the council) in becoming carbon neutral by 2030?
2. Does the organisation you represent have carbon neutral targets? If so what are they?
3. In what way could you support the council's Climate strategy?

Comments will be open throughout the engagement period in Spring 2021. Formal public consultation on our draft strategy will take place in Autumn 2021

Updates on the development of the strategy and how you can be involved will be available on www.wiltshire.gov.uk/green-economy-climate-change.
