Council confirms its alignment with government’s 2050 net-zero ambition

Douglas Borough Council is fully supportive of the Government’s ambition to transition to net-zero greenhouse gases by 2050.

The council’s stance was the subject of debate at its virtual council meeting held earlier this month.

It was confirmed a climate change mitigation strategy would form part of the next iteration of the council’s corporate plan.

The council commissioned the Carbon Trust consultancy in late 2019 to provide a report to calculate the council’s current carbon footprint and identify measures to reduce the negative environmental impact of its actions and shape its future carbon-neutral strategy.
