Worcestershire's Climate Change Strategy

The aims of the Worcestershire Climate Change Strategy are to:

Raise Awareness of the Issue of Climate Change , e.g. through formal education, raising awareness amongst staff in organisations and businesses, and by incorporating climate change into other awareness programmes.

Reduce Climate Change causing gas emissions across the County by 10% by 2010 & 20% by 2020, by improving energy efficiency in homes, industries, businesses & other organisation, increasing use of renewable energy and addressing waste & transport issues.

Assist adaptation to the impacts of Climate Change on the County, e.g.on the buildings, the natural environment, infrastructure and our public services.
