Question from: County Councillor Jake Berriman Subject: Supporting the Climate Emergency and the Nature Recovery Action Plan

 

Question From:

County Councillor Jake Berriman 

Subject:

Supporting the Climate Emergency and the Nature Recovery Action Plan

Question To:

County Councillor Iain McIntosh

Portfolio Holder for Economic Development, Planning & Housing

 

Question:

 

It is disappointing that Council decided not to declare an Ecological Emergency on the 23rd of September, but I am nevertheless encouraged by the fact that the Council is currently committing resources to the employment of a Climate Change Officer and a Biodiversity Officer.

 

Much work has to be done delivering the Councils committed actions to address Climate Change, to achieve Net Zero in Powys by 2030, and reverse the catastrophic loss of nature, acknowledged by the Council, through its commitment to the Local Nature Partnership and delivery of the Nature Recovery Action Plan, so: Can it be confirmed that provision is being made to fund these vital posts beyond March 2021 and March 2022 respectively?
