The carbon plan will lay out what every person, every business and every organisation in Devon must do to lower carbon emissions and to achieve net-zero. It also highlights the wider opportunities doing so presents. The plan is evidence-led and considers the suggestions made by the public earlier this year. Given what we all have had to endure in terms of lives and livelihoods lost this year, it’s understandable that the Climate Emergency has not been in the forefront of all our thoughts.
