Environment and Climate Change Board
Introduction
The West Sussex Environment and Climate Change Board was
launched on 23 September 2010. The Board is made up of
representatives across all sectors and aims to ensure that shared
environment and climate change objectives and priorities, both now
and in the future, are fully understood, effectively communicated
and embedded in the development and delivery of policy and
proposals across the County.
The Board is chaired by Professor Robert J Allison, Professor of
Geography and Pro Vice Chancellor at the University of
Sussex. The vice chairman is Les Bond, Director of Assets and
Data for Southern Water.
The County Council has one representative on the Board and
provides executive support.
In 2010, four thematic subgroups were set up to work
on:
- low carbon and energy;
- green economy and skills;
- environmental quality; and
- sustainable transport and infrastructure.
These groups enabled wider engagement with partners across West
Sussex and supported the Board to develop an Action Plan for the
County. This Action Plan went out to consultation at the end
of 2011. The consultation report and revised Action Plan will
be available here by summer 2012.
The way forward
The Board has set up a delivery group to develop the first round
of actions from the action plan.
