Climate Emergency

Lancaster City Council’s Climate Emergency Resolution

At a meeting of Full Council on 30 January 2019, Lancaster City Council declared a climate emergency and committed itself to:

  • Set up a Climate Change Cabinet Liaison Group, involving councillors, residents, young citizens and experts from our two universities
  • Convene a citizens’ assembly to help identify how our activities can be made net-zero carbon by 2030
  • Proactively include young citizens in this process
  • Introduce climate change impact assessments, including carbon emission appraisals, in reports to Cabinet and Council
  • Support Lancashire’s Air Quality Champions network and request a city councillor to attend meetings
  • Commission a report from our pension funds and investments on levels of investment in the fossil fuel industry
  • Call upon local MPs to ensure government provides the powers, resources and funding to make this possible
