To mark the start of COP26, Sefton Council is encouraging residents, businesses and partners to make a pledge to reduce their emissions

To mark the start of COP26, Sefton Council is encouraging residents, businesses and partners to make a pledge to reduce their emissions.

Following the 2019 declaration of a Climate Emergency in Sefton, the council is reaffirming its pledge to be net zero carbon by 2030 for all council activities.

People are being asked to go #OneStepGreener for the planet and make a small change. The pledge could be something small like walking more short journeys, using more public transport or eating local, seasonal foods. For those who can go further, they could install solar panels, eat less meat or switch to an electric vehicle.

Sefton Council has released a video pledging to take green inclusive steps for all the community and to protect the borough from the effects of climate change 

 

Cllr Paulette Lappin, Cabinet Member for Regulatory and Corporate Services said:

“COP26 is a chance for us to stand up and make a pledge to the people of our borough on the issue of climate change. We can no longer sit back and do nothing.

“Not only do we stand by our commitment to be net zero carbon by 2030, but we pledge to protect everyone in Sefton from the effects of climate change, which as a coastal borough, we are particularly vulnerable to.  

“We have reflected on what we as a council can do to protect our borough and reduce our contribution to climate change and I would urge everyone in Sefton to think carefully about one small thing they could do that would reduce their impact on our climate and keep our borough the green and beautiful place that it is.”

 The council will be releasing top tips and making green announcements throughout the two weeks of COP26 tied to the themes of the conference covering youth, nature, adaptation and more.
