Suffolk’s local authorities have been working together on county-wide climate change project work since 2007 through the Suffolk Climate Change Partnership (SCCP).
Who is in the SCCP?
The SCCP consists of:
- Suffolk County Council
- West Suffolk Council
- East Suffolk Council
- Ipswich Borough Council
- Babergh and Mid Suffolk District Council
- the Environment Agency
The SCCP also works with other organisations locally including Groundwork Suffolk and the University of Suffolk.
What does the SCCP do?
All partners have a shared interest in supporting Suffolk’s communities, businesses and residents to reduce carbon emissions.
All councils in Suffolk have acknowledged the climate emergency, with commitments that include both reducing carbon emissions for their own estates and operations and, the focus of this item, working with partners across the county and region (including the Health, Police and the Public Sector Leaders) towards the aspiration of making the county of Suffolk carbon neutral by 2030.
