According to a new report from the Committee on Climate Change, there is currently no requirement for local authorities to take action on climate change. This coupled with limited funding means there is a significant risk that local authorities will not develop and implement sufficiently ambitious low-carbon plans. The report also argues that additional incentives will be needed to encourage local authorities to adopt the government’s Green Deal initiative. It ads that a duty should be imposed on councils to produce a low-carbon plan for their area, report on its implementation, and prioritise carbon reduction measures in their budget.
