  • Climate Action Plan and Project Pipeline 2020 the Following Table Is a Selection of Actions Drawn from Multiple Sources Including the Public Event in February 2020
    Shropshire Council Corporate Climate Action Plan and Project Pipeline Climate Action Plan and Project Pipeline 2020 The following table is a selection of actions drawn from multiple sources including the public event in February 2020. The full list has been summarised to include only those that Shropshire Council are able to take on. It focusses on those actions that are likely to reduce the Council’s own emissions – including indirect (Scope 3) emissions – rather than Council led actions that help reduce the emissions of Shropshire businesses or residents. Actions that help sequester carbon are included. This list is a work in progress. Formal approval under the Council’s Capital Programme will be pursued where projects will be appraised on an individual basis following the process detailed in the Council’s Capital Strategy. Each potential action would need to be evaluated on its own merits prior to inclusion in the Capital Programme. Some projects delivered in partnership with others may lead to commercial income being generated. Updates will be made at monthly internal Climate Officers Group meetings. The first table lists active projects that are already underway as part of a ‘Project Pipeline’ and the second table identifies a range of potential actions that could be undertaken subject to satisfactory feasibility assessment. 1.
