Criteria

Criteria met if the council has a role such as Chair of Environment Committee, Cabinet Member for Environment, Chair of Environment and Climate Change Scrutiny Committee or any title with the words Climate Change, Climate Action, Climate Emergency, Environmental Sustainability, Environment or similar in it.
This role can be merged with another role, such as Environment and Transport.

Clarifications

Councils can be governed either by a cabinet or committee structure. A cabinet structure involves a council leader and cabinet members all from the same governing party or parties. A committee structure distributes power across politically balanced committees.

Having a Climate Champion listed as a responsibility for a councillor, as opposed to a formal role will not qualify for a mark. A Chair or Cabinet member for Environmental Services is also not valid.
