Climate change - Council's role
Council is actively reducing its greenhouse gas emissions.
- Council aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 75 per cent on 1998 levels by 2050 (about 5 per cent per year).
- So far we are tracking well – 14 per cent emissions reduction over the last 2 years.
- We did this through energy efficiency measures, conservation of energy, fuel efficient technology in the fleet, replacement of appliances with highest star ratings.
Council is adapting early to climate change through:
- Understanding and researching how the Redlands might feel the impacts of climate change
- Developing options (policies, programs and measures) to avoid or lessen impacts in areas of disaster management, building design, planning, fleet management and education
- Continuous risk management to strengthen Redland’s resilience to climate change
