The Council voted on two of the points in the motion submitted – these were points 1 and 4 below. The other points will be passed to Scrutiny committee for further discussion and planning.
- Declare a Climate Emergency
- Commit to making Pembrokeshire County Council a net zero carbon local authority by 2030
- Develop a clear plan for a route towards beingnet zero carbon and halting biodiversity loss within 12 months
- Call on Welsh and UK Governments to provide the necessary support and resources to enable the above
- Collaborate with experts from the private sector and 3rd sectors to develop innovative solutions to haltng biodiversity loss and becoming net zero carbon.”
So there is still much to do – we’ll need to keep monitoring, providing ideas and information, and demanding action from the Council.
