July Grocutt - Deputy Leader Sheffield Council

This was the third of a series of Zoom events covering what needs to be done about our climate emergency and social justice.

Julie Grocutt, Deputy Leader of Sheffield City Council, spoke about some of the initiatives and actions Sheffield City Council are doing to help tackle climate change. She explained Sheffield’s 2019 declaration of a climate emergency which stated a goal to reach net zero carbon output by 2030. A plan was commissioned which touches every aspect of life and work in the city, focussing on specific actions for everyone and what the council can do to enable city wide action. There are over 80 recommended actions that are set out for the council, situated stakeholders, and the government. The report shows that Sheffield could reduce its carbon emissions to 85% by 2030
