Decision details

Cabinet considered a report of the Director of Hampshire 2050 on progress on climate change over the last 12 months, inlcuding planning for the year ahead.  The Chairman acknowledged receipt of a letter from the Hampshire 2050, Corporate Services and Resources Select Committee following its scrutiny of this matter at its meeting on 30 November.  The Committee made a number of observations, and the letter had been published alongside the agenda papers on the County Council’s website.  The Chairman thanked the committee for its helpful comments.

During the discussion, Cabinet heard that the County Council was actively working in partnership with district and borough councils, engagement with an expert forum and with residents on local projects and programmes.  The County Council’s powers to affect climate change alone were limited and partnership engagement was essential in delivering key priority programmes as set out in the Strategic Framework.

The recommendations in the report were considered and agreed.  A decision record is attached to these minutes.
