An updated Essex Climate Action Plan to help tackle climate change and improve the Essex environment has been approved.

The revised plan will see Essex Council commit an extra £50 million in funding between now and 2025. This brings the budget for the whole plan to £250 million.

There are six core themes in the plan:

• Land use and green infrastructure

• Energy

• Built environment

• Transport

• Waste

• Community engagement

The council adopted the original plan in November 2021 following recommendations from the Essex Climate Action Commission report, 'Net Zero: Making Essex Carbon Neutral'.
