ZERO CARBON CUMBRIA PARTNERSHIP
The ZCCP is made up of more than 80 organisations from the public, private and third sectors, with the shared ambition of a net zero carbon Cumbria by 2037 for our emissions from energy, travel, land-use, food and the other goods we buy, and waste.
On behalf of the ZCCP, CAfS secured £2.5 million in 2020 from the National Lottery’s Climate Action Fund for a five-year Zero Carbon Cumbria (ZCC) project, which is funding this post along with several others.
Four emission sector groups have recently been created, comprising representatives from relevant partner organisations, and tasked to produce Emissions Reduction Action Plans (ERAPs) by the end of November 2023 for:
- Buildings
- Transport and mobility
- Farming and other land use
- Consumption, waste and the circular economy
To develop their ERAP, each group is expected to meet 6 – 12 times and there are likely to be 1 to 3 sector group meetings taking place each week.
