Declarations and action plans play a crucial role in tackling climate change. When local councils declare a climate and nature emergency, they acknowledge the urgency of the situation and commit to taking significant steps towards a sustainable future. By aligning local communities and organisations behind these plans, we can drive collective action, inspire innovation, and make tangible progress in combating climate change at a grassroots level.
