In 2019 Medway Council declared a climate emergency, to respond to one of the most important challenges of our time.
We recognise the need for us to act against climate change, but we will not be able to combat this threat alone. It will need the combined actions of Medway’s residents, communities, and businesses.
Our action plan has laid out how we will respond to climate change, both as a council, and as a community. It is a working document that will evolve as new opportunities and technologies come to light.
There are actions for the council to lead on, and there are actions for how as a community we must respond. Read our Refreshed Climate Change Action Plan 2022 to see how together we can work towards addressing this challenge, and what you can do to take action.
Our 11 high level priorities:
Emission reduction pathways
We’ll report on our carbon emissions and find out where we need to get to.
We’ll undertake a review of all council buildings for energy efficiency measures and inform businesses and residents about energy grants for privately owned buildings.
