Kirklees Council’s new environment strategy: everyday life
Kirklees Council’s ‘Environment Strategy: Everyday Life’ has been approved at the Council meeting on Wednesday 18 September.
As a partnership document that has been co-designed with residents, partners, and all of Kirklees’ political parties, this strategy is a high-level framework of ambition. It is co-designed, co-owned and will be delivered by all partners, not just the council, through a partnership pledge.
This new strategy works towards achieving the 2024/25 Council Plan priority of ‘Continuing to deliver a greener, healthier Kirklees and address the challenges of climate change’, whilst also tackling the ecological emergency and broader social and economic challenges.
By becoming a more environmentally sustainable district we will deliver health, wealth, and happiness to the people who live, work, and study in Kirklees.
Councillor Munir Ahmed, Cabinet Member for Environment said:
“We are proud to present Kirklees Council’s new ‘Environment Strategy: Everyday Life’. This strategy is not just a document, but a collective vision that serves as a guiding light for a greener, more resilient future for our people and places.
“Our partnership pledge is open to all people, organisations, and businesses across Kirklees. I invite you to pledge your support to help achieve our vision and ambition for a greener Kirklees. Together we can make a difference.”
