  • Cherwell District Council Climate Strategy
    2020 Climate Action B3 BODICOTE Framework ll ero carbon rwe agile working ng che mi Sharing sfor d an ecte tr Conn bike repair 1 Taking climate action 2020 has been a year of huge change, with the global COVID-19 pandemic affecting all aspects of society. However, it has not changed the need for action on the climate emergency. The key message is clear: we need to take urgent action to limit the global rise in temperature to below 1.50C and to avoid the devastating impacts a further rise will provoke. This document provides the framework for our local actions here in Cherwell. There are huge challenges to our ambitions. The scope of our goals for the district are in advance of national and regional policy and they will need to be matched by solid leadership from central government and significant changes across our communities. Technological, societal and economic conditions within the next decade will provide opportunities which we will need to realise and challenges we will need to overcome, whilst fully recognising that we have to do things differently and faster. Cherwell is well placed to lead on this agenda. Many innovative projects and programmes have already been delivered in our district, such as the Eco Bicester initiative, which delivers new housing developments to a zero-carbon and much higher environmentally friendly standard, and which has been personally championed by many of us at Cherwell District Council. We look forward to working with residents and businesses across the district to achieve these goals. COVID has underlined the critical importance of the environment and provided us with a unique opportunity to look afresh at how we would like to live in the future.
