Criteria

Criteria met if climate action (alternatively called Sustainability or Environment) is listed as one of the combined authority's core priorities or equivalent. It must have its own heading or section and a net zero target date must be referenced.

The net-zero target date must be an area-wide target, either the UK Government's national target, the devolved nation's target or the combined authority's area-wide net zero target.

Clarifications

A corporate plan is a business planning document that sets out their future priorities and objectives to help ensure that the combined authority manages its resources effectively.

Points will not be awarded if the priority for climate action is part of another priority.

It might be called a (Strategic) Economic Plan.

We will accept other language for target dates being used such as carbon neutrality.
