Issue - meetings

Members considered the report which gave an update of the National Park Management Plan (NPMP) ‘Working Towards a Zero Carbon National Park Climate Change Summit’.  Cllr McCloy thanked the Head of Strategy and Performance and her team for organising the Summit and stated that it was important that young people were involved in future ventures regarding climate change.

In response to Members’ queries it was noted that the Chair of the Committee would contact the Chair of the NPMP Advisory Group with regard to members of the new Climate Change Member Task Group attending the NPMP Advisory Group meeting in January 2020.  Also it was noted that although Hope Cement Works was excluded from the current proposals the Authority was working with them in other ways including planning matters and possibilities of off-setting carbon emissions.

The recommendation was moved, seconded, put to the vote and carried.

RESOLVED:

1.    To note the briefing on the National Park Management Plan Climate Change Summit – working towards zero carbon National Park. 

2.    To note that Members will be updated on further outcomes of the summit at appropriate times.
