The Worcestershire Climate Change Pledge                          

Worcestershire County Council, along with other organisations, have signed up to the Worcestershire Climate Change pledge. As part of this pledge, we have committed to a number of actions to tackle climate change. We are working to:

• Raise awareness of climate change issues with our staff and in our activities
• Monitor and reduce our energy use
• Insulate our buildings and encourage our staff to do so
• Minimise our waste by using less and recycling more
• Set ourselves a target to reduce carbon emissions
• Assess likely impacts of climate change and make plans to adapt
• Implement a staff travel plan
• Operate a sustainable purchasing policy
• Use renewable energy.
