Climate Change

Climate Change

Global Warming and Climate Change are a fact, and the kinds of extreme weather we have been getting in the last few years are predicted to get worse. It is being caused by the release of ‘Greenhouse Gases’ like Carbon Dioxide, which are heating up our planet and causing changes in our weather patterns.

Crawley Borough Council recognises that Climate Change is likely to be one of the key drivers of change within our community this century, having far reaching effects on our economy, society and environment. In response, the Council is taking a lead in addressing this issue within the Borough, and are keen to work with local companies, organisations and residents in delivering the UK Climate Change Programme.
