Cheltenham Borough Council, GB integrates Climate Impact Assessment Tool into council discussions
The Climate Impact Assessment Tool asks for stakeholder considerations of factors like air quality and biodiversity throughout their deliberations. Proposed policies or projects are graded for positive, neutral, or negative environmental impacts based on a color-coded guide. Negative features lead to discussions about improvements or mitigation rather than outright rejection. Borough officials worked with three district councils on the tool's development ahead of its late 2022 implementation.
