Local authorities recognise that they hold a pivotal role in meeting the net zero carbon emissions target by 2050. More than 300 now have a climate action plan in place and have committed to reaching net zero emissions in the near future. However, in order to tackle the issue, a consistent, rigorous and detailed method of measuring carbon emissions must be established by all councils. This will allow them to accurately measure - and benchmark - their current emissions and make effective and appropriate plans. With 35 local authority members, the FHRG is a forum set up to debate, design, develop and test innovative solutions to prevailing and emerging challenges in the highways sector. It aims to give ADEPT local authority members the chance to support strategic transformation, drive the implementation of sector-based innovation and deploy continuous value for money improvements. Together, these authorities represent around 70% of the local road network across the country, so they form a powerful network that is ambitious about tackling issues such as climate change. |
