Oldham Council has signed up to the Nottingham Declaration and recognises that Climate Change is likely to be one of the key drivers of change within our community this century. The council will use this opportunity to lead the response at a local level to help in playing a major role in delivering the national Climate Change programme. The council has developed a Carbon Management Action Plan to achieve a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from our own operations, specifically energy sourcing and use, street lighting, travel and transport.
