Aim: To work towards a low carbon, environmentally sustainable and climate-resilient future for everyone who lives, works and visits Beccles.
We continue to believe that as a council and community we need to take all the steps that we can to address the emergency we face, rather than waiting for or expecting others to take a lead.
Science has long been clear about most of the steps that need to be taken to reduce carbon emissions and protect our natural environment, and to adapt to a changing climate. We should ‘follow the science’ and focus on actions that are known to have a significant impact if done at a local as well as a national level.
Agreed by full council, 1st September 2026
