Gateshead Council’s Consultation on the Climate Change Strategy
The Council is consulting on the Climate Change strategy for Gateshead. The aim is to initiate the conversation about climate action with partners and residents to help create a detailed action plan, which will form part of the strategy that all Gateshead residents and business can sign up to.
A digital mapping tool is being used which allows consultees to pin point existing climate action and also identify where improvements can be made in their local areas to help them make the right choices for the environment. Once actions have been collated they will form practical ward level action plans, placing councillors and communities at the heart of tackling the climate emergency.
