Report: Revised Havering Climate Change Action Plan (HCCAP) 2024-27

 

Introduced by:  Councillor Keith Darvill, Cabinet Member for Climate Change

 

This report presents the revised Havering Climate Change Action Plan (HCCAP) 2024-27 which is attached as Appendix 1. It builds on the actions introduced in the HCCAP in 2021 and provides a framework for the Council’s actions to deliver on its target of becoming carbon neutral by 2040 or sooner.

This is an evolving framework, and the Council will continue to update the approach over time; as targets change, new data becomes available, and following major Government decarbonisation strategies. Havering Council has a solid data base and a robust intelligence hub which leads the coordination and development of applied data.

 

The HCCAP is primarily focussed on actions to reduce greenhouse gases, but interlinks closely with a range of other Council strategies such as:

 

·        Local Plan.

·        Parks and Open Spaces Strategy.

·        Health & Wellbeing Strategy.

·        Cycling and Walking Strategy.

·        Air Quality Action Plan.

·        Electric Vehicle Charging Strategy.

·        Reduction & Recycling Plan.

 

Cabinet:

 

Approved and adopted the revised HCCAP 2024-27 in Appendix 1.
