Climate c hang e is Warbler are entirely the responsibility of the contributor) clearly the current hot topic and we have rec ognised the need to have emergency planni ng in place to enable us to baton down the hatches should the worst happen. As a council, NYCC have set up a working group on climate c hange and we are g oing to try to get near to bei ng carbon neutral withi n the next 10 years. This will be a reall y di fficul t challenge to meet but we feel we need to demonstrate an enormous ambition bec ause of the sense of urgency that exists on this subject. The carbon footprint of the County Council has been estimated at 13,500 of CO2 emissions per year. This is a huge figure but not s urprising given that we are a big council covering a very large rural area, have a @woldsvalleywarbler large property es tate, street lights, transport fleet and essential service contracts. Some initiatives are already in place to reduce our impact. For example, we are changing all of our street lights to low energ y LEDs after reducing the time they’re on. We know there is more to do, we are l ooking at developing solar farms, buyi ng green elec tricity from renewable sources, repl acing heating sys tems in buildings, maki ng changes to vehicles used to provide home school transport and investi ng in projects to offset our car bon emissions including planting trees and the res toration of peat land. We are well aware that our thi nking needs to develop and welcome i deas but at the same time of course we’ve got important services to deliver and funding constraints to work withi n. My concluding message is to reassure you that as a council we are taki ng climate chang e seriously, our probable failing is that we are not shouting about it from the roof tops!
