Sandwell climate change consultation

February 10, 2020

Climate Change and poor air quality in Sandwell is a serious public health issue, so colleagues in public health are gearing up to tackle air pollution in our area, and we’re working alongside them on this. They need you to share your thoughts and ideas by taking part in this online survey: www.sandwell.gov.uk/climatechange

They’re carrying out an eight-week public consultation on climate change and air quality for Sandwell, and want as many local people as possible to have their say on how to help make Sandwell a carbon neutral place by 2041. This target has been agreed by the West Midlands Combined Authority, who have set out the evidence behind this decision in ‘Setting Climate Change Commitments for West Midlands Combined Authority Area’.

The consultation on the proposed Air Quality Strategy and Draft Climate Change Strategy will run for eight weeks until Sunday 15 March.

You can read about the proposed plans and summary document online. The 35 actions detailed in this consultation have been based on research undertaken by Ashden and Friends of the Earth to identify the most effective steps to take.
