Climate Change Strategy Consultation
The Cumbria Strategic Partnership (CSP) is developing a Draft Climate Change Strategy to support the North West Climate Change Action Plan 'Rising to the Challenge'. The Cumbrian Strategy aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and enable people, organisations and industry to adapt to unavoidable impacts of climate change.
The Strategy has been out for consultation and will be launched later in the year - further updates will appear on this website.
