Climate change
Climate change is a huge issue and a very real challenge for us all. It affects our communities, businesses and nature and we all need to play our part in making Lancashire a greener county.
Protecting our environment is our priority and taking action to reduce CO2 levels is key.
In December 2020, we agreed our ambition to:
"Transition the Lancashire economy away from carbon by 2030, address the biodiversity crisis; while also protecting against poverty and improving social inclusion.“
