The annual report on Climate Action in Essex has been published by Essex County Council. The report highlights both new and ongoing projects undertaken by ECC, such as the Carbon Cutting Essex App and Essex Forest initiative. It showcases efforts made not only by various local councils including county, district, borough and city councils, but also by the NHS, universities, private businesses, and community groups. This report is an integral part of ECC's four year plan to bolster climate action and achieve the goal of net zero emissions.
