Carbon Management Programme

The Council is committed to reducing its Carbon Emissions. As such it has put in place a Carbon Management Programme to help all areas within the Council.

Carbon Management Strategy

The objectives of the plan are to set direction within the authority for all services or departments to achieve targets as set in the LACM revisited programme allowing achievement of a five year carbon reduction process.

The overall goal of the project is to reduce the Authority's carbon output by 3% year on year.

Clackmannanshire Council have signed up to meet the targets of Scotland's climate change declaration, the Council's own sustainability aspirations, LACM5 and the moral responsibility placed upon us, through the
operation of this project.

Clackmannanshire Council's current total CO2 emissions amount to 46,377 tonnes and a reduction of 6,957
tonnes over five years would represent a saving of 15%. Clackmannanshire Council feel this is a realistic yet
challenging target to meet that will require ongoing assessment ensuring reasonable (5-7 years) payback
periods from any financial investment.
