News that Manchester City Council is to miss
its carbon emission target
again is unacceptable state of affairs especially after it was caught out
for producing misleading carbon
reduction figures last year.
The Council over the past few years has made great play of its plans to reduce climate emissions over the
past few years with its
- 17 Principles for Tackling Climate Change
- Climate Change Call To Action Plan
- Climate Change Action Plan - 'Manchester: A Certain Future'
- Greater Manchester Climate Change Strategy
It seems with all of its work producing
Action Plans and Strategy documents, it has no time to do any actual work on
actually reducing carbon emissions.
Given the serious effects climate change has
begun to have on the country, this is dangerous behaviour.
Manchester Green Party calls for the Council
to take seriously its responsibility to reduce carbon emissions as part of its
duty of care for the lives and well-being of its citizens.
