    OUR CLIMATE CHANGE VISION 

    ‘The City of Liverpool accepts the urgent role
    that it has to play in slowing and reversing the
    growth of greenhouse gases to prevent the 
    most damaging aspects of climate change. It 
    also recognises the responsibility it has to 
    help people live with the inevitable changes

    radically cuts the City’s use of fossil fuels to
    reduce our greenhouse gas emissions by 80
    % by 2050, the rate that climate scientists 
    recommend will lessen future impacts. 
     
    We will  transform our city to withstand the
     predicted impacts of climate change to 
    protect and enhance the city for our people
    our environment, and our economy.’
