Report by Head of Commercial Services

The group gave consideration to a report highlighting some of the short term impacts Covid 19 has had on our Council in terms of Climate Change. 

Discussion took place in respect of individual carbon footprint data specifically in relation to agile working; the reduction on greenhouse gas emissions over the lockdown period due to the reduction in travel and the strategy for disposing of PPE waste.  The Head of Commercial Services agreed to look into this matter more closely with colleagues and bring it back to the next meeting for discussion. 

Decision:

The Climate Change Environmental Action Group agreed to note the identified short term impacts that responding to Covid 19 has had on Council carbon emissions and associated activity.
