Commission Convenes Panel for Surrey’s Climate Delivery Plan

Following the initial 5-year Plan set in 2020, the Greener Futures Team at Surrey County Council needs to review and redefine this Plan for the next 5 years, between 2026 and 2031.

With a new over-riding Strategic Authority needing to be in place by 2026, it is more important than ever that a robust, but ambitious plan is in place, when new priorities are set.
