Question · Action Scorecards 2025
Two-tier criteria
First tier criteria met if the council's ongoing engagement (under 5a) specifically aims to engage those most affected by climate change and climate action policies.
Second tier criteria met if the council's climate action plan has undergone an equalities impact assessment to identify who is most affected by climate change and climate action policies.
Who is most affected by climate change and climate action policies depends on the local context. Therefore, this could include any community or group of people provided the council has specified they are more affected. For example, this may include people who live near rivers with increasing risk of flooding, or people with physical disabilities who can be affected by policies to reduce traffic and increase active travel such as clean air zones.
Note: “in 2023” counts show how the councils listed below were marked on this question in 2023. This list of councils may be slightly different to the list of councils originally assessed on this question in 2023, due to the creation and abolition of councils between Scorecard years.
