| Annotation | Recent Government policy for the public sector has included a strong focus on addressing climate change and promoting sustainability in the commissioning and delivery of services. Public sector responses to climate change must address two issues _ (1) Adaptation, i.e. ensuring that services can be delivered effectively in the face of climate change; and (2) Mitigation _ i.e. reducing the extent to which services contribute towards climate change, largely through reducing carbon emissions. The report briefly presents some examples of good practice from England and Wales, highlighting in particular the economic case for greening public services. (JL). |
