How To Score The Success Of Local Authorities Climate Action Plans.

In this Podcast we interview Isaac Beevor from Climate Emergency UK where we explore their efforts to score the success of Local authorities climate action plans. It has already scored the efforts of Enfield Council and placed it below average.

With the help of may councillors and council officers they have developed a Climate Action Explorer that collects UK Council Climate Action Plans in a single database, alongside some data on area emissions estimates within the scope of influence of councils.

It’s being developed by Climate Emergency UK and mySociety, with input from a range of council climate officers, climate specialists, researchers, and journalists.

It assesses the success of local authorities in several areas like mitigation, adaption, community engagement, diversity and more - and does this with the use of volunteers across the UK

It is an ongoing project that will continue as the months go on as local authorities are scored as they implement their climate action plans.
