Agenda item

The Chief Executive’s report gave an update to Members on recent meetings with stakeholders, partners and other organisations.

Members questioned the commitment to Race To Zero and what the next steps are.  The next steps are for the collective of the National Parks to sign up and then the agreement can be signed. These next steps are to be taken at National Parks collective level and the new UK Director of Communications will be in role in January 2024 when one of their initial tasks will be to take this forward in terms of national communications.

Members queried the level of Member involvement regarding the National Park Management Plan and this was clarified that it will be at stakeholder level. The initial indication is that the Chair and Deputy Chair may be involved with other Member representatives as required depending on the agenda.  It was noted that consultation may take place in the form of a conference that would be open to Members.

RESOLVED:

To note the report.
