We have published our draft methodology for the the Council Climate Action Scorecards 2023. Last year we marked every UK council's Climate Action Plans. In mid-October 2023 we’ll be releasing the results of the Council Climate Action Scorecards, scoring the actual climate action they have taken.
Join our mailing list to follow our progress towards the 2023 Scorecards.
If you want to volunteer to help create the Council Climate Action Scorecards find out more here.
Climate Emergency UK assessed plans according to 28 questions across nine sections, based on the expert-approved checklist for Council Action Plans. Each council was marked against these criteria and given a right to reply before the scores underwent a final audit. This work was completed between June and December 2021.
