Criteria

Criteria met if the combined authority has sent a letter or had a meeting with national or devolved governments calling for the government to take further action, or asking for councils and combined authorities to receive more funding, powers and climate resources to take climate action since 1st January 2023.

Clarifications

The criteria will be met if combined authorities have worked on specific, climate-related issues, provided climate is cited as a reason to take action. For example, asking for measures to improve local bus provision will meet the criteria if reducing carbon emissions is cited as a reason to do so.

We have chosen the date 1st of January 2023 to ensure that any lobbying has been recent and continued, rather than once every few years.
