The draft CAP outlines how East Dunbartonshire can contribute to the Scottish Government’s target to achieve ‘net zero’ by 2045 – meaning that Scotland would no longer contribute to climate change.
As well as setting out objectives and future actions, the draft CAP details work that has already taken place and is ongoing – within the Council and across the area.
Emissions in East Dunbartonshire have reduced significantly since record keeping began, decreasing by almost 50% from 2005 to 2023, however, there are many challenges ahead.
