Vale of White Horse District Council

The Council's commitment to saving energy and tackling climate change

In March 2007 the Council signed up to the Nottingham Declaration on Climate Change. By doing this it pledged to reduce its own carbon emissions and to encourage others to do the same.

The declaration sets out that the Council “acknowledges the increasing impact that climate change will have on our community during the 21st century and commits to tackling the causes and effects of a changing climate on our district”.

The document also commits the Council to reducing its own greenhouse gases and to encouraging other businesses and individuals in the Vale to do the same. For more information about the Nottingham Declaration see the Energy Saving Trust website.

Rising to the challenge of climate change is an objective in the Council's Corporate Plan - for details of how it intends to do that see our page Rising to the challenge of climate change. For more details please see our Carbon Management Plan and Climate Change Strategy, which can both be downloaded from the right of the page.
