Climate Change Action Plan

The CCAP identifies short, medium and longer-term actions that we can work towards delivering by 2030 and beyond. All of the actions are organised into eight themes

• Greener Homes & Buildings - actions to reduce emissions and increase resilience of Runnymede’s building stock, covering both privately owned and Council owned homes and buildings
• Energy Generation & Storage - actions to reduce emissions from and increase the resilience of the energy sector in Runnymede - includes steps to transition the Council’s energy to green and clean sources
• Active & Sustainable Travel - actions to reduce emissions from the transport network, improving air quality and helping residents live active and healthy lifestyles
• Natural Environment & Biodiversity - actions to improve the quality, carbon storage potential and resilience of Runnymede’s natural environment, and maximise the potential for biodiversity in our green spaces
• Reducing Borough-wide Waste - actions to reduce waste and use resources efficiently, working towards a ‘circular economy’
• Green Economy - actions which help ensure Runnymede’s future economic growth is resilient and green
• Sustainable Council - actions which reduce carbon emissions through all Council business, such as procurement, fleet and employee travel
• Supporting our Communities - actions which haven’t already been identified in preceding themes which focus on communications, engagement and sharing information with our local communities to help reduce emissions across the wider borough

There are many ways you can help contribute to the delivery of the action plan - several actions under these themes are about working with our local communities to bring about changes.
