Climate change information by local councils in England

< Local Sustainability Ideas Bank, < Topics, < Sustainability networks, < Blue nose day

Introduction
This series of articles looks at the actions local councils are taking in response to climate change, (as of July / August 2005) and in particular what information they provide for the ordinary concerned citizen. The scope of this enquiry has been limited to council websites. Some notes on the method used are given below.

The aim is to create an article or page for each region of England. Pages for each region are listed below according to whether a comprehensive and systematic survey has been carried out (as for example with local councils in the South East), some partial information may be available (stubs), or pages not yet started. You can add appropriate information to relevant pages at any stage.

Notes on method
A simple search for 'climate change' was carried out on each local council website. Links identified were restricted to web pages specifically about climate change or evidence of climate change strategies, that could reasonably easily be found by ordinary concerned citizens. PDF and word processor documents have not been included or referred to unless these can be accessed from a dedicated climate change page. In the case of websites temporarily unavailable at the time of a search, no information is recorded.
