Carbon Audit
Between 2017 and 2021, Ramsgate Town Council’s Planning and Environment Committee received updates on their Carbon Footprint. These updates included recommendations on how to reduce it.
Ramsgate Town Council have produced a Carbon Audit detailing the progress over that five year period.
Declaring a Climate Change Emergency
Following the Carbon Audit, Ramsgate Town Council declared a Climate Change Emergency in February 2022 and formed the Climate Change Task Group soon after.
Climate Change Task Group
Since its formation in March 2022, the Climate Change Task Group has undertaken many initiatives. Starting with reducing the use of single use plastics, taking a proactive stance on recycling and using refurbished IT alternatives.
Ramsgate Town Council adopted a Climate Change Action Plan, which was created by the Climate Change Task Group.
This Action Plan set out objectives for the task group to undertake within the year. Some of these objectives resulted in Ramsgate Town Council adopting new policies, these can be seen below:
The Climate Change Task Group is currently working on multiple projects, which we hope residents will benefit greatly from, such projects include:
- Repair Café and Town Shed
- Tree Planting Initiative
- Refill Scheme in Ramsgate
- Energy Trials for Residents (Winter 2025)
- Food Growing Initiative
