Highland Councillors have agreed a new, place-based approach to tackling impacts of climate change and building community resilience. This will bring together work to cut greenhouse gas emissions and support the transition to renewable energy; prepare for climate risks such as flooding, coastal change, severe weather, drought and wildfire; and to plan investment in areas like housing, schools and transport, within one strategic framework.
The work will be led by the Council’s climate change and energy team, ensuring climate action, infrastructure planning, and investment are joined up across Council services. Click here for the Climate Change, Energy and Community Resilience report.
