Abstract
This short report by members of the Leicester Climate Commission has been produced as a response to viewing and discussing an October 2023 draft of Leicester City Council’s 2023-2028 Climate Emergency Action Plan. The report comprises a summary offering overall feedback, a small number of specific Recommendations for enhancements to the Action Plan and a list of Issues to Consider which were raised by Commission members as feedback.
Description
The Commission is a task-and-finish group, convened from members of the Leicester Environmental Experts Reference Group, chaired by De Montfort University (DMU) working with University of Leicester (UoL) and other local professionals with climate and energy-related expertise.
The Commission members reviewed a draft of Leicester City Council's (LCC's) Climate Action Plan in October 2023, discussed the report and offered feedback to LCC Officers in an online meeting. This document is a summary of key points made in that feedback meeting and from notes compiled by reviewers. City Council staff have also been provided with the compiled annotations on the draft action plan document captured by Commission members. These notes include suggested minor amendments, such as addition of hyperlinks or queries of specific data presented which are not included here.
