This council declared a climate emergency on July 8, 2019.
“Enfield Council will take a greater leadership role for the borough to acknowledge the threat that climate change poses and do all in its powers within its available financial resources to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2030.”
“Whilst the focus in this initial plan is on reducing the Council’s own emissions, additional emphasis is given to borough wide activities, such as transport, housing and green spaces, and we have a new ambition for a carbon neutral Enfield by 2040.”
This council’s climate plans as of 20th September 2021 were assessed and scored by trained Climate Emergency UK volunteers, as part of the Council Climate Plan Scorecards project.
