Challenges this appointment seeks to address include:
Local resilience planning: Support for local communities to undertake local resilience planning, focusing on Health, Climate and Economy.
Decarbonisation of the economy: The need for individual, business and community action to live more sustainably has been identified in community engagement work, and detailed in the Net Zero Carbon Strategy, Wellbeing Assessment and Economic Strategy.
