Residents of Shropshire are petitioning the council to agree a target date for achieving ‘net carbon zero’ emissions from the councils activities, and to design an action plan in accordance with this target. We welcome the council’s declaration of a climate emergency and commitment to work towards net zero greenhouse gas emissions for the council’s activities and for the county. But time is short.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report was clear that urgent action is essential if we are to limit global temperature rise to no more than 1.5 degrees C.
