Find out what Eastbourne Borough Council is doing about climate change.
We are currently faced with two major challenges - the first is that we are pumping too much carbon in our atmosphere than the planet can cope with and the second is that oil production is now in decline.
This means we will have to deal with rising temperatures, more extreme weather events and rising energy prices.
Becoming a Low Carbon Town
To tackle these issues we have set the vision to become a low carbon town - that is to reduce our carbon emissions by 35 per cent by 2020 and 80 per cent by 2050.
Carbon reduction is the top priority of the Community Environment Partnership for Eastbourne (CEPE). This partnership and our Environment Strategy are helping us to Act on CO2.
