Background
The Hertfordshire Climate Change and Sustainability Partnership was formed in March 2020 with representation at leader and / or executive member level, along with chief officers.
The collective work programme is supported by officers from each authority and the Hertfordshire Futures, who work on priority topics that are focused on action planning and implementation in a number of key areas.
By joining together to tackle wider issues outside of the direct control of each individual authority, the partnership is working collaboratively to deliver climate change action, and address the carbon reduction targets for Hertfordshire and to achieve lasting change.
HCCSP is working closely with the Hertfordshire Growth Board (Hertfordshire County Council, the 10 district and borough councils, the Integrated Care System, Homes England and Hertfordshire Futures) and reports regularly to the Hertfordshire Leaders Group, attended by all council leaders.
The partnership maintains key strategic links with other groups across the county such as:
- Hertfordshire Infrastructure Planning Partnership (Executive Members and Heads of Planning)
- Hertfordshire Planners Group
- Hertfordshire Growth Hub.
We want to engage with Hertfordshire community groups, the voluntary sector, residents and businesses to stimulate behaviour change around climate change and achieve shared carbon reduction goals across the county.
