I am committed to ensure action is taken to cut harmful emissions and enhance nature. This is not only essential for the future of our planet but also improves our health and wellbeing.
The level of concern for the future of our planet has been acutely amplified since the IPCC’s reported last October that we have 12 years to reverse a climate catastrophe.
With environmental issues riding high in public debate, Derek Thomas MP is backing a greater focus on energy efficiency – the missing piece in tackling the climate crisis and how getting a smart meter installed is one way to make a difference.
The promise of a £23.5m funding package over the next four years for a ‘Reduced Bus Fares’ pilot in Cornwall has been hailed by MP Derek Thomas as an exciting opportunity to get more people to use public transport.
West Cornwall MP Derek Thomas is urging Cornwall Council to bid for up to £5 million of funds that could help transform the county’s public transport network.
Cornwall Councillors want to play their part in reducing harmful emissions and protecting and enhancing our natural environment. Unless local authorities follow Cornwall’s lead, the Government has no chance of reducing the UK’s carbon footprint to net zero.
To promote widely and wildly what Cornwall Council already has in place to help cut costs and cut carbon is my 15th suggestion for Cornwall Council’s Carbon-Free Plan.
Over the coming decades, flood and coastal erosion risks will increase as a result of population growth and climate change. Rainfall patterns will change, extreme weather events will become more common and sea levels will rise.
