Question · Action Scorecards 2025
Criteria is met if the council has raised any amount of funds for climate action through any of the following:
- Energy Service Company
- Successful grants in relation to climate action (including active travel, bus or other public transport improvements, rewilding, waste reduction, or biodiversity and conservation projects)
- Joint Ventures/Special Purpose Vehicles
- Loans (including through Salix Finance or Public Works Loans Board)
Any government funding is valid except the Public Sector Decarbonisation Fund, Green Homes Grant and others similar to this. These are not valid for this as marks are awarded for this funding in Buildings & Heating questions.
A joint venture is a partnership between the council and a private company to provide a service or complete a project where both parties share the benefits and losses.
