East Suffolk Council Climate Action Framework - Paper - Page 8
Collaboration
As an ambitious council, despite limits to the resources, funding and powers available to District
Authorities, East Suffolk Council publicly committed to collaborate with other local and national
organisations to urgently address climate change.
Examples include working to address important national issues such as low carbon transport and
decarbonising private homes.
East Suffolk Council supports the 2030 net zero target for Suffolk as a whole by tackling emissions
from the wider sectors of transport, business, industry and households.
To do this we are an active partner in the delivery of the Suffolk Climate Emergency Plan, such as
by helping households install energy reduction measure use through the 'Warmer Homes'
programme and supporting business to decarbonise.
East Suffolk Council is also committed supporting the delivery of HM Government's 25 year
Environment Plan.
Delivering change
The East Suffolk Council Strategic Plan's is the 'guiding light' for our work, with progress monitored by our Key
Performance Indicators (KPIs). This work is overseen by the Plan's delivery Board, Member Task Group and officer
Environmental Theme Delivery Team.
East Suffolk Council leads projects where it has the powers, duties, funding and resources to do so. Where a
broader response is required, it works with partners across Suffolk and beyond to enable other individuals and
organisations to deliver action. Our work is prioritised according to where we can make the greatest positive impact,
particularly on reducing emissions, and where we have the resources to deliver a measurable positive difference.
This framework is a working document that will evolve as our programme is delivered and new data emerges.
