Current Projects
Durham County Council is proposing a motion to Rescind the Climate Emergency Declaration signed in Feb 2019 at a full council meeting at 10.00am on Wednesday 16th July, and replace it with a County Durham Care emergency, recognising the critical and escalating crisis in children's social care
​
This should not be an Either/Or situation.
The future of our children cannot be made secure if we ignore the climate crisis, and Durham County Council closing its eyes to it will not make it go away, but just make it harder to combat. If this were followed by multiple councils, then it could seriously affect the UK’s emissions targets and have significant affects globally
