Have you say on the Government’s Net Zero Review

Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Leadership Board is supporting the government’s call to residents, businesses and organisations to have their say on its review of its net zero plans.

The government is calling for views to be submitted from the public, businesses and other organisations on its plans for the net zero transition of the economy, maximising net zero growth opportunities, challenges identified in the review and the future of net zero.

The Net Zero review states: “Everyone in the country has a stake in the transition to net zero. It impacts consumers, employees and businesses alike, affecting our cities, agricultural economy and natural environment. It will continue to change the way we lead our lives, altering the way we warm our homes, commute to work and much more.”

Get up to £5000 to take climate action

We want to inspire and back projects that support Cornwall Council’s climate and ecological emergency response. Our ambition is for a carbon neutral Cornwall where 30% of our land, rivers and seas are positively managed for nature by 2030.

Cornwall Council has supported hundreds of fantastic Climate and Nature projects in the past and by blending our four previous environmental funds together, it’s now easier than ever to get financial support for projects.

With over £200,000 in available funding, projects are offered a match grant of up to 50% of the total project amount – capped at a maximum £5,000 though for exceptional projects we may offer up to £15,000.
