The IS is supporting councils and their partners in promoting sustainable methods of delivering services and in reducing their carbon footprints. Our activities include:
- Developing guidance, in partnership with the Sustainable Development Commission, on the selection and use of appropriate tools for assessment of council-related and area-wide carbon emissions;
- Assessing councils' understanding of, and capacity to use, appropriate tools and techniques for the reduction of carbon emissions;
- Proving guidance on the Carbon Reduction Commitment and supporting councils in developing their capacity for effective operation of the carbon trading scheme in 2010;
- Working with councils and stakeholders to strengthen their capacity for assessing and addressing their carbon and ecological footprints, including the use of PSIF, guidance on building sustainability into SOAs and continued support for the Local Footprints project;
- Working with councils and stakeholders to strengthen their capacity to assess and address the impacts of climate change on services and communities.
